breast reduction Jan 29. trouble with left breast.started as a small whole then got bigger.has a mild odor and draining. Was told that it’s tissue that didn’t survive and is draining. asked for an antibiotic and have been changing my dressings.beginning to scab now.right breast was ok but now it’s starting to do the same thing. It’s draining some fluid. I’m scared to get an infection or a much larger whole or even a skin graft. I was thinking about getting a second option. What do you think?
