Pussing, bleeding, and stitch spitting 4 weeks post op. (Photo)

Asked By:RK32 in Huntsville, AL

I had an anchor lift on my left breast & a crescent lift on my right breast with 397cc silicone implants on Dec. 23rd. Two days ago I noticed a pussing opening on vertical incision & one slightly bleeding at "T". Should I be worried? Treating once to twice daily with Polysporin and covering with cotton pad. A bump appeared on right breast today. Getting progressively larger & a little tender. Possible spitting suture? Next Dr app is Feb 9th. Most worried about infection prevention.
