Asked By:cahender72 in Roanoke, VA

I had breast reduction on March 9. Then on June 4 I had surgery to clean out fatty necrosis of the right breast. Since July all my homes have healed and surgeon released me. I now have an old hole at the base of the the incision oozing push. What is going on? Could I lose my breast?
