Asked By:nika2981 in Brooklyn, NY

Good morning I had my BA in 2017, the right breast was perfect but the left breast capaulated. In 2018 I had my Left Breast capsule removed and a new silicone inserted, but this BA formed a “Double Bubble” under my boob aka the implant did not go into the pocket formed under the muscle for it. February 13 2019 I had it replaced for the 3rd time. 2 weeks post opp the suture must have torn and now I have a yellow fluid leaking from a small hole that was formed there. No fever, nor does it smell
