3 weeks post op breast lift with fat transfer. Healing quickly and beautifully. At first post op appt. my PS said I would likely have a small wound separation on my right breast and when it occurrd to treat with neosporin. I have been doing so for about a week. I'm concerned its not healing properly. I have follow up appointment in 5 days but wonder if I need to be seen sooner. Wound is small about the size on a pencil eraser. No pain, oozing, or odor.
