3 Months Post Breast Augmentation, Scar Leaking? (photo)

It sounds like you may have an infection. It's best to see your surgeon as soon as possible. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question .

Sometimes drainage is normal, sometimes it is not.  In your case, you should be seen by your surgeon because he/she knows your history and can examine you in person and let you know if there is an infection or not.

Call your surgeon's office and I am sure they will get you in to be seen.

 

There is a high chance that you have breast infection. You need to logout, call your doctor and ask to see him.

Leaking fluid from the breast can be infected. I suggest you follow closely with your surgeon.  Good luck.

From what you describe, it is getting worse and likely infected.  If your surgeon closed the deep tissues in layers, you might just have a superficial infection that could resolve with antibiotics and good local wound care.  If the implant is infected, it will be very difficult to clear the infection.   For breast implant infections, IV antibiotics (usually Vancomycin and possibly Gentamycin + Cleocin) are indicated.  Reoperation would consist of washing out the pocket aggressively with antibiotic solution trying to salvage the implant, but sometimes, you just have to remove the implant for 3 months to allow the infection to clear.  Sorrry.  I hope I'm wrong and it goes well.
