Hematoma Draining by Itself Through Incision. Worried About Infection?

June 22, 2013

I had a breast lift (no augmentation) & developed a hematoma 2 weeks after surgery. An ultrasound revealed 21cc of blood in one breast. My PS said to let the hematoma resolve itself. However, yesterday I noticed that the breast is slowly draining drops of blood at the t incision. PS said to apply neosporin and apply gauze to area till bleeding stops. The strips are still in place. Will this compromise the incision healing or lead to an infection?
