Asked By:colettequizia in California, CA

I had anchor lift with augmentation done 16 days ago and my left breast started bleeding on day 13 I went to see my surgeon and he said that everything is intact and he thinks it’s just blood leaking he advised me to stop showers and just leave incision alone but I’m really worried I put gauze on it everyday and everytime I change the gauze it has some blood. Is this normal? Thank you
