I had a breast augmentation 5 weeks ago. I think I may have some bruising from an injury. I’m not sure if it’s internal bleeding in the pocket from moving 3 weeks after surgery. went to see her last week & she pulled out 15ml of blood in the office. Does this mean I will have to have another surgery or will this resolve on its own? There is still pain there after she drained it. Im taking pain meds & arnica. How long does it take before the pain should stop if it is minor bruising?
