Why can I do about my suture abscess hole (Photos)

August 26, 2017
Asked By:LizR82 in Miami, FL

I had a second breast lift and augmentation 7 and a half weeks ago. The first one was 2 years ago and I healed wonderfully. This time, 6 weeks post op I noticed one of my breast had oozing right in the middle of my vertical incision line. I've harassed my PS 's office in hysteria and they have been super awesome and helpful. Apparently, I'm spitting sutures. Why is this happening and when will it stop? When will this close?
