Hello which is best to treat my Hematoma on my left breast it's been 3 weeks and 4 days since surgery. I've been using ice packs and a hot water bottle to try and take down the swelling. Why is i've be Asprin not good to take I would have thought this would thin the bloody out and dissolve the Hematoma. Getting so fed up with it , it hurt when I walk or try to pick something up from the floor . I back wear the bandages as this help to not move the breast about . Is there anything more I can do ?

Answer: Best way to treat your hematoma Thank you for your pictures. The best way to treat a hematoma is early drainage. If your hematoma was not drained then it may be organized (solid) and now it is up to your body to get rid of it. That is a slow process. This may ultimately lead to capsular contracture. Only time and patience will treat your hematoma.

Answer: How do you treat a hematoma (blood collection) after breast augmentation surgery? Hello anniepie22,Thanks for your question.From your pictures it is difficult to tell if you have a hematoma. I assume your surgeon made this diagnosis.If this is a hematoma, you have to go back to surgery to have it drained and the source of bleeding identified and stopped. Blood around an implant increases the risk of infection and capsular contracture (hardening of the implant pocket). This then increases the chances you will either lose your implant or require revision surgery.Aspirin is a blood thinner and its use for 2 weeks before surgery and for the first 2 weeks after surgery increases the risks of bruising, bleeding, and hematoma.I suggest you go see your surgeon ASAP.Good luck,Dr. Shah
