A pinhole size opening appeared on the inner breast part of my incision. It was oozing yellow and hints of blood slowly a couple days ago...sent my surgeon pictures and went in the next day to his office. He said he was not too concerned as implant was inserted on the opposite side of pinhole. 3 days later still oozing. I’ve been cleaning twice a day and putting neosporin. Doc said I could work out and sweat just keep it covered with gauze. Has anyone ever seen this? Common?

Thank you for your inquiry.
Typically our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Please keep the area ...
