Should I be worried about an oozing pinhole on my mastectomy scar line 3 months after surgery? (Photo)

Asked By:chpstick2u in Kansas City, MO

Had double mastectomy with reconstruction about three months ago. Discovered a hole on my right breast today where my Ariola/nipple were tattooed on my scar line. Not only is the hole oozing a thick pale yellow substance, it is also allowing air in between my implant and my breast tissue. So if I slightly press on my breast, air will escape through the tiny pinhole. Is this normal? Is this a sign of more things to come?
