I had ba 4 months ago then I had to go back and have corrective scar surgery & implants taken out & pockets cleaned now 5 & a half weeks I've had nothing but problems had a caliform infection. Redness & fluid near the scar,ive been on iv antibiotics & oral antibiotics for the last 6 weeks & it's started leaking again a light yellow /brown sticky fluid & I've got a bad cold? I'm still on oral antibiotics. Is it possible to get another infection? Are black scabs normal too on scar?

Answer: My incision is leaking from pin sized hole near the incision scar after 5.5 weeks Breast Augmentation. Is this normal?(photo)
Yes , this is normal. The body will produce scar tissue ( collagen) over the first few weeks to heal the wound. The scar will then begin to soften over the next few months as a normal part of the healing process.
From your photo you are a great candidate for breast augmentation. As for sizes you should seek an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to try on sizers and take measurements of your chest to determine the right implant for your frame. Best of luck.
Thank you for your question. In general, unless you're high-risk patient, you do not need to stop birth-control prior to plastic surgery. It's best to discuss this with your board-certified plastic surgeon.
