Hello. I am 17 days Breast Reduction Post-op. Of course I'm still swollen and have discomfort. I have edema in both breast and have sharp shooting pains several times a day. Also, my right breast seems to have NON "oozing" puss. My Dr.said it could be puss or even breast tissue poking out due to split stitches. He also said not to massage yet or ice my breast. I keep the incisions clean & use pure vitamin E oil daily per surgeons instructions any suggestions?
