I am 5 weeks post op breast augmentation I had smooth round silicone implants over the muscle. I noted my i Scion opening up and some watery blood and a small amount of yellow fluid on one side. I am in no pain I have no fever and my breasts aren’t hot so I’m thinking I’m just spitting a stitch but wanted to get an expert opinion if I should be worried or not

Answer: Suture extrusion Congraulations on your recent procedure. At 5 weeks post op, I agree that you are probably “just spitting a stitch.” Suture extrusions usually resolve in a couple of days. If the irritation persists, then contact your plastic surgeon. Best to you on your continued recovery.

Answer: Incision after Breast Augmenation Most likely some incisional separation and maybe some spitting sutures. It should eventually heal but make sure you follow up with your Plastic Surgeon. I usually advise some antibacterial ointment and covering over the wound. You should see a noticeable improvement in 3 weeks. But again, follow up with your Plastic Surgeon
