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

I'm sorry to hear about the complication you have experienced. Considering that you have additional drainage since your last visit with your plastic surgeon, it will be best for you to follow up with him for direct examination. This examination will allow for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Online consultants cannot provide this to you.

Most likely the drainage is related to a superficial/localize stitch problem and will likely be self resolving (plus or minus anti biotic treatment). Again, only your plastic surgeon will be able to provide you with a  meaningful diagnosis/reassurance.

Best wishes. 

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.
