Green, Red, Yellow Discharge Normal 1 Week Post Breast Aug/Lift?

I too,l like my colleagues who have answered, am concerned about your discharge increasing since you last saw your plastic surgeon.  Please be in touch with your surgeon.

While some discharge after breast augmentation or lift surgery can be normal, it's essential to differentiate between what's normal and what might indicate a potential issue. Here's some guidance:
1. Clear or slightly yellow discharge: This is typically normal and can be a combination of blood and lymphatic fluid. Your body might produce this as it heals from surgery.
2. Green or foul-smelling discharge: This could indicate an infection. If you notice green discharge or if the discharge has a foul odor, it's important to contact your plastic surgeon promptly. Infections can occur post-surgery and may require medical attention, including antibiotics.
3. Red discharge: While a small amount of blood in the discharge can be expected, bright red or heavy bleeding could indicate an issue with wound healing. If you're experiencing significant bleeding or if the discharge is consistently bright red, contact your plastic surgeon for guidance.
It's crucial to monitor your incision sites for signs of infection, such as increasing redness, warmth, swelling, or pain. If you have any concerns about your recovery or the discharge you're experiencing, don't hesitate to reach out to your plastic surgeon for guidance. They can provide guidance based on your specific situation and help ensure a smooth recovery process.
