I had breast lift with implants...when I got my bandages taken off the nurse said I had a small cut and put a small bandaid strip on it..when I took it off it was oozing puss and the cut is now. Large gap I'm kinda of far from my surgeon I've sent photos and gotten no reply please help I've been cleaning it with peroxide and putting non stick pad on it with antibiotic ointment will this heal on its own? Should I be worried? What can I do?
