Is this impending breast implant exposure? (Photo)

June 17, 2015
Asked By:Gracegirl1234 in Moseley, VA

I am 4 weeks post op, suffer from hematoma and seroma on left breast. Seroma drained from areola incision and stopped several days ago with no signs of infection. Tonight noticed at Red circle to left of breast with a white spot in middle that is slightly indented and easy to push in. Is the white part the implant trying to get through? I have started antibiotics and will see my surgeon asap but hoped someone on here could clear my nerves until I was able to. Thanks in advance!
