16 days post breast implants. Do you see any kind of infection? (photos)

Question

Hi I got my breast augmentation and lifting surgery on March 31, I had my stiches removed on April 10. The right breast (only the right)now at the bottom is a little bit red with some pus coming out. Is that normal? I do not have fever. Please some advises will be appreciated! Thanks.

Without actually examining you, there is no way to know if you have an infection.  And, if you do, this is something that should really be managed by the Plastic Surgeon who performed your procedure.Suggest that you call the office today and let them know your concerns. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Dear yohanka1074,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

hi, from the pictures you have submitted it is hard to comment on the state of the suture line, please contact your PS office and get an appointment as soon as possible. In the meanwhile I would suggest you should support the suture line with the paper tapes and wear a supporting brassier to prevent the weight of the implant pushing against the stitches. Hope this helps, do keep me posted of your progress, warm regards Dr Prashant Murugkar
