I am 5 weeks post op and I noticed some scant blood tinged drainage from a spot on my incision. What are the chances that my implant will also be infected?

Answer: Incisions get red as they heal and of course... I would recommend seeing your plastic surgeon, but by photo alone it appears that your incision is immature, red, and the area where a suture knot would be (the end) is slightly more red. This would be normal for a scar that is 5 weeks old.

Answer: No It is rare on healthy young women to get any kind of an infection after breast augmentation. I agree with below that it is most likely suture related. Go and see your surgeon and they can evaluate your incision.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD
