What is the best way to treat postoperative bleeding after breast implant removal without replacement?

back2naturalco
Please help- I'm currently 8 wks post op from breast implant removal surgery w/out replacement. I had 286cc silicone sub pectoral implants removed; capsules were thin and left intact. At 6 weeks post op, I noticed a bump on my left breast. PS confirmed that it's fluid build up. He aspirated the fluid (about 75 cc) and found that it contained blood. I had another round of aspiration yesterday and it was excruciating. PS wants to reoperate, remove capsule, and place drain in right breast. Agree?
