Asked By:evergreen11 in Los Angeles, CA

Hello doctors, I'm 6 weeks post periareolar mastopexy. So far an unpleasant surprise every other days & don't know when this is going to stop & I can enjoy the result of my surgery w/o being so worry & conscious about it! Today I noticed there are some whitish pus on 2 spots on my areola incision in which I found a very tiny bit of left-over dissolvable stitch. When I cleaned them, these 2 hole appeared! I'm kind of worried. Please help. Also, will this cause bad future visible scars? Thank you
