Asked By:smokeycat4 in Atlanta, GA

I'm still having a little bit of drainage, but it's mostly just mucus, and it's not enough to wear a drip gauze anymore. I'm so sorry these pics look so gross haha but I just wanted to check & see if this looks normal. A lot of people I've seen, their incision sight is nice and clean and blood free and obviously mine isn't. I just wanted to make sure it isn't like infected and this is normal 5 days post-op. Thank you!
