I got a BA on Oct 2. I came to have stitches removed today, but one of my incisions (infra) is still wet and not closing. Doctor says it's because of excess fluid - he removed most of it through the incision by pressing on my breast. He says that if this doesn't resolve soon, I'll have to have the implant removed. He put some new stitches to close the wound and force the body to absorb the fluid, so to speak. I'm scared of the outcome. Taking antibiotics for a week (cipro/fluclo), no infection.
