A week after a full breasts lift, with implants (470cc and 325cc) plus a mini tummy tuck, my right breast started oozing and looked like the stitches were no longer present. I went in to office and had covering and gauze dressing to keep on for 5 days. After see pic below. Nurse said put neosporin and gauze on it while air it out for 20-30 min. I'm worried I will have permanent damage. Is this the best course of treatment or ahould I go back in to see the doctor tomorrow?
