I had my implants removed and got breast lift exacyly 6 weeks ago. I was healing very well, until yesterda whan I noticed some pus discharge on mu bra from the Section where the two scars meet, in the T. So, I read that it might be my sustures coming out, or an infection. There is a small hole, with some pus. What to do to avoid this getting bigger. Is this a reason of concern? Do I need to contact my PS for it? Thank you!

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you've had. I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation. An ultrasound can be done of the area to determine next steps. Since it is only been a month since surgery it may be that you are still healing. If so it should resolve with time.
