It is not pus, does not smell bad. My breasts are the same size, no hardness, normal color. However, this watery blood just wont stop flowing since 5 days ago. I talked to my surgeon, she put reinforcement stitches in the area where it initially started but now it started from another area. She said it was normal from water/blook that did not come out with the drainage and it needed a way out but I am worried since three weeks have already passed

Answer: Drainage after breast augmentation Some patients can have some drainage from the blood tinged fluid that develops after breats augmentation. Usually it gets reabsorbed by your body but sometimes it wants to open the sutures and drain out externally. You can try to resuture and keep it inside and let the body absorb it, let it ooz over a period naturally and protect with antibiotics, or put in some numbing medicine, open the wound, drain it out, and re-suture. There is no particular right way.The biggest risk is bacteria going up into the wound where the scar separates, so an protective antibiotic can be helpful.Keep your surgeon informed of your progress so she can take action if any is needed.

Answer: Fluid Early on, fluid may accumulate around the implant as you are healing. Yours is leaking out instead of absorbing. With this drainage is an increased risk of infection. Please follow closely with your surgeon.
