6 weeks post op, breast lift with 415cc gummy bear implants- scar opening (Photo)

May 17, 2018
Asked By:winnk in Edmonton, AB

I am six weeks post op, recovery has been fine until 5 days ago I noticed a small hole, it's bigger now with greenish yellow discharge and pain. I contacted my surgeon and the nurse instructed me to remove scar tape and apply gauze, and that they would send antibiotics if the surgeon felt necessary. They never got back to me and is now a long weekend? The other breast now looks like there are openings starting too.
