It’s been almost 5 weeks since I had my breastlift and tummy tuck. My breasts are starting to hurt more and the wounds still aren’t fully closed and they are leaving bright yellow residue on my clothing. How do I get my wounds to heal fast?

Also my scars are starting to appear more red than a couple of days ago, is that something to be worried about?
