I am currently POD #17 from a bilateral breast reduction, uncomplicated and everything went as planned. I had my steri strips removed yesterday, and have dissolvable stitches. Upon returning home, I can now see at the bottom of my left breast on the T-junction there is an open area, with white/yellow tissue that is slightly draining (I have gauze placed over top).
