right breast has separation at the T junction and I’ve been cleaning with soap and water and putting a bandage to avoid friction from my sports bra on the wound. Well just now when I was checking on it, liquid literally dripped down onto my stomach and when I pushed a little to see if anything would come out, I could hear fluid inside my breast bubbling a bit. No pain that I’m aware of. This breast was tuberous before the lift & augmentation. What should I do?

Answer: Breast lift incision Dear MCPuffs,this type of wound is not uncommon after breast lift. It is usually caused by poor blood flow. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon, follow your surgeon's instructions and keep your wound clean and covered. It can take few weeks or months for wound to fully heal.

Answer: You need to see your surgeon ASAP and I hope you have by now as your wound is suspect for an exposed implant. Only your surgeon knows what tissue was preserved between the implant and the air and your surgeon must determine if there this wound communicates with your implant. If it does, you can certainly attempt salvage but most are doomed to fail. Most surgeons would recommend removal and healing before going back. I hope you have seen your surgeon by now.
