On Feb. 2, I had neck lipo/chin implant performed, with a pretty prominent incision/suture line afterwards. The dissolving sutures have fallen out, but there was 1 residual scab in the center of the scar. About 5 days ago some oozing of yellow/pink translucent fluid droplets began adjacent to scab. 2 days ago the scab washed off, releasing lots of fluid and leaving a deep pit that has been growing, w/ continued weeping. I started keflex yesterday, but am worried the implant must be removed?
