Stitch popping out? (Photo)

BA1988Aug 25, 2016
I saw my PS today and he removed the silicone sheet i got around 4 weeks ago. There is this red spot on my left insicion. He said it might be a stitch popping out and put me on Bactroban treatment. Does this look like its infected? It actually doesnt hurt, he said the cream was to prevent infection but i would like to hear what do you think and recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your question and the photos. Congratulations on your surgery. I think you are in good position by the photos, but it's hard to tell without examining you. I think that it's likely the implants will not shift a lot but you are early in the process. Normally we are worried about...
