3 weeks post benelli breast lift, is this sticky clear fluid a seroma?

lidia879Oct 20, 2012
I had a benelli breast lift a little over 3 weeks ago, and there is a very small amount of sticky clear fluid, the area feels moist but I can not see where it is coming from because the incision looks like it is healing well. I have more disconfort in that breast than the other, but there is not redness or excessive swelling. My doctor said to put cold compresses, but I would like to hear other opinions? Should I use the silicone sheets that I started using? About neosporin? Thank you

At 2 months your result looks quite good, though I do appreciate your concerns and see the discrepancies described. Size could simply be swelling or a reflection of you own natural breast asymmetry. I suspect the same surgeon marked and performed the surgery on both breasts, so the most common...
