I have had two ops on my right side in the last 3 months the first my augmentation of 425cc which got a wound infection 3 weeks post op it was cleaned and out back with a new scar. Now 6 weeks post that op o develop a blister on the scar which has since be drained and now is leaking a clear yellow fluid. I believe a seroma. The implant is fine and I show no sign of infection. What are my options.. my PS says he will cut out the old wound a re do the NHS just want to cut out the implant.
