Asked By:mandymia11 in Midland, TX

It's been 4 weeks since I had my breast augmentation and lift. Week 3 I started to notice I wasn't healing at the incision site. Now it's starting to feel like a hole and is getting a bit bigger then when I first noticed it. It has drainage everyday and has become a little sensitive. I been doing wound care. Keeping it clean and dry and putting neosporin with a gauze 2-3 times a day. Anything I should be worried about? Is this normal?
