Leaking fluid from butt incision. How normal is it? 3 weeks post-op. (Photos)

Question

How can I take care of this issue to avoid further complications? Tomorrow I'll be 3 weeks post gluteal implants, yesterday my right cheek was hurting I thought was normal but today found my right incision from the same glute I was in pain yesterday leaking a bit of fluid and it has a tiny little hole to the bottom. My left hole drain still drains a little bit as well.

Please contact your surgeon immediately. Your surgeon will most likely need to take these implants out and wait 6 months before replacing them.  Ive done hundreds of these and have been published numerous times in worldwide plastic surgery journals for my work on buttock implants. Its the only way that you will heal.
