Question

Mastopexy (anchor) & breast augmentation 6 weeks post-op There's no pain, but I did apply pressure last night trying to massage my scars. This morning i noticed a small bubble full of pus so I squeezed and everything came out with some blood. I have a gauze on as well as ointment. My doctor is 2hrs away don't want to make a big deal of its nothing.

I would recommend that you seek the attention of your plastic surgeon immediately. Hopefully, you simply have a stitch abscess. This will resolve with removal of deep stitch, hydrogen peroxide, and antibiotic ointment. Sometimes a short course of oral antibiotics useful. Please consult with your doctor asap.

Thanks for the question. Its early to talk about results.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Hello
dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well… 
I have to say that you are still early on healing process, it is too soon to
determine how your results are going to be, per now, they look very nice and
beautiful, you can have one bigger than the other, feel swollen and also have
bruises and open wounds, it is normal and that can happen for the first 3 to 4
months until your implants have settle in. I recommend you to wait and keep
using your post surgical bra, that will help you with the shape and support. Hugs!

You need to be seen immediately! And started on PO antibiotics! Call local PS and offer to pre paid for consultation if you are unwilling to drive!

Dear Beyouownkindofbeautiful, it is difficult to tell without examining you in person, but it looks like you may have a suture cyst that should be drained and removed by your plastic surgeon. Not seeking medical attention may lead to infection or some other unpleasant complications down the road, so please speak with your plastic surgeon as soon as possible. In the interim, please make sure to keep the breast area clean, wear loose clothing, and no longer pop or pick at the cysts.
