4 weeks PO, BA incision site red and leaking clear/yellowish fluid. Popped stitches? (photo)

I appreciate your question.

I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. As others have stated, the best thing will be for you to see your surgeon in person ASAP. Wound/infection issues cannot be diagnosed properly via internet unfortunately.All the best 

Hello,Given your less than desirable post operative course following the placement of way too oversized implants, this new event of leaking fluid is not a good sign, and my main concern is that the outside world is now contiguous with the inside world of your implant. Go visit your surgeon as soon as possible. Best of luck!

Thanks for your inquiry, this could represent a stitch spitting which it is not uncommon or a deeper infection.  But, without an exam it is impossible to advise.  Please do speak to your plastic surgeon to discuss management.

I would definitely call and be seen by your plastic surgeon. I am concerned by the redness and the fluid that you described. It is not possible to tell exactly what is going on without an in person exam. Good luck!
