It's now 10 days after my full thigh liposuction and stitches are still oozing. They are not bleeding or oozing enough to dirty the clothes but every day for taking bath when I removed those bandages they are wet. Stitches along my upper thighs have healed but near knee area do ooze. I started my month long vacation 2 days ago and now I'm so worried about this. The pain has significantly decreased and I have other problem except these stitches. Kindly help
