Does my breast augmentation incision look infected?

May 26, 2019
Asked By:soprano13 in New London, CT

I had my b/a a month ago now (27th April - 27th May) and I noticed my incision had some puss/liquid coming out 9 days ago, it wasn’t much. I put allevyn dressing on and remove in the shower. I don’t have pain, I noticed because I had some discomfort. This is the most puss I’ve seen on my dressing, 3 days ago the puss stopped, 2 days ago a little come, then today it’s the most it’s been in the 9 days. I’ve attached a photo of the dressing after 24hrs of use and my incision.
