Answer: Oozing from Incision after Breast Reduction
The photograph will demonstrates the areola suffering after a breast reduction. Some of the areola might be lost. Surprisingly, as the area heals the areola and often times look fairly normal. Time will tell
Since one side is operated and the other is not, of course there will be differences. This will persist until the operated side is fully healed, which can take a year. This is always a finding with surgery performed on one breast and not the other, but does not mean that there is a problem....
Although I agree with the doctors below that your wound will heal with current treatment I would recommend a surgical debridement. There is a significant amount of necrotic (dead) tissue which must be removed. Once the dead material is gone your body will be able to heal your open wound quickly...
