I had a TT, BL w/augmentation and lipo of the flanks and I/O thighs. I am po 2 days. Yesterday I started having a bloody discharge from my vagina, similar to my cycle although the color is a little dark. I was not due for my cycle for another 3 weeks, I just finished the weeks before surgery. I called my ps, the nurse acted like she had never heard of this before. If it got worse to call my gyn. What domyou think?
