I am a 27 year old femLe with no kids. Surgery went well, I came home and felt well. On July 6 I noticed yellow drainage from my right breast and immediately notified my surgeon and saw him in the office on June 8 because the wound started opening. Again i saw him on July 10 for the same issue, only worse. Then again shortly following because the wound completely dehisced. He scheduled surgery for wound closure then cancelled and I'm now using Prisma.
