Why is my incision leaking and open still after butt implants? (Photo)

December 27, 2014
Asked By:cape cod in Long Island City, NY

So I just went to the e.r. because my incision is still draining 1 1/2 months post op for intramuscular implants. My wound has been open the whole time, doctor took sutures out because incision wasn't healing due to leaking. He says fluid should stop eventually, but I am noticing it is blood not fluid. The e.r. did ct scan and said theres air around the implants due to the open incision (2 in L x 1 in W) e.r. doc says this can cause infection and to remove implants. My doc says keep them in? ?
