Should I request to be seen sooner about stitch abscess? (photo)
CanIgetSomehelpMay 6, 2013
A had a revision done on my breast lift plus implants 25 days ago. 4 days ago I removed 2 sutures from the spot in the picture. I sent pictures to my PS and was told to keep it clean, put neosporin on it, cover with guaze. It was a scab and now looks like yellow tissue. I see my PS in 1 week. Should I request to be seen in person sooner? Does this look infected? Or like it is on its way to healing? I do trust my PS but honestly I don't want to go in early if 1 week would be fine.
