Had breast lift 14 days ago and am increasingly oozing fluid from the crease beneath right breast. Is this an infection? (photo)

Asked By:KimberlySue23 in Los Angeles, CA

I called the office and they stated it was fine but the fact that the amount of discharge is increasing and not decreasing is concerning me. I do have implants from a previous augmentation and lift but it was just a lift this time around. I've attached a photo of the gauze that gives an indication of the type of fluid that is coming out. Does this look like serous fluid or an infection?
