Asked By:christinanicol1 in Sierra Vista, AZ

I had a breast reduction Nov. 21, was healing great until about two weeks ago when a small hole appeared my left breast. I called my surgeon the next day and they said everything I described as normal, just drainage, but it’s been two weeks now and the hole appears bigger! It’s draining yellow pus, no foul odor, and I’m not experiencing any sickness so I don’t think I have an infection, I’m just concerned with how it is healing. Should I schedule an appt?
