Asked By:meinGA in Alpharetta, GA

HELP..3 weeks since lift with small T and new implants (400cc mpp saline) under muscle, dual plane. (implants were 18 yrs old with slight CC). I am 39, overweight but healthy, don't smoke and no diabetes. Now, open wounds. PS's nurse saw me and put silver nitrate on yday. Today, oozing more then normal (no infection - on antibiotics in case). There are little holes too. I know they will heal somehow, just implant concerns. Using xeroform and non stick gauze. Dissolvable stitches need removing?
