I saw a pimple in my scar. I went ahead and squeezed it very gently, a little bit if puss and blood came out of it. Now I have a little hole there. I'm freaking out!

Answer: Suture abscess Yes, this is normal and is usually due to dissolvable sutures that sometimes poke through the skin. Your surgeon can remove these in the office and the skin will heal over. Best wishes!

Answer: Aug/lift and scar pustule A small bump that drains a little fluid along an incision is usually just a inside stitch that has worked its way out. Cleansing and ointment is usually all that is required. However, you have a breast implant under that incision and there is a small chance of this pustule infecting the implant,which is a much much bigger deal. I recommend you contact your surgeon right away and follow their instructions.
