Seeing yellow in stitch area. Is this normal? (Photo)

Hello,A small amount of yellow or bloody discharge is not uncommon after a breast lift or reduction.  It usually resolves in a few days and will be checked by your surgeon in the early post-operative period.  If the drainage increases, turns green or opaque  and  is accommodated by pain and redness of the skin, it could signal infection.  Follow-up with your surgeon to ensure the discharge is not threatening.Warm regards,Dr. Pedy Ganchi                                                                                                                                               Village Plastic Surgery   

It is not uncommon to have a discharge of various colors for up to three weeks after breast lift surgery. But when concerned, it’s always a good idea to keep your surgeon in the loop. To read more, click on the link below.

Based on your photos and history, it sounds like you may have a little fibrinous exudate (human glue) on the gauze and this is not all that surprising after a breast lift/augmentation at 1 week postop. If it continues then I would call your PS to let him/her know but I think you look like you are doing fine at this point. Best wishes.
