I had a breast lift with 250cc implant 11 wks ago then yesterday I had what looked like yellowish puss come out of a small area along the incision. I showered as normal & today the inside of my bra has blood & puss on it, the wound looks larger & I’m concerned. I did have 2 spitting stitches that healed on their own but there wasn’t this amount of leakage. No pain, no smell but there is some redness around the area. This is just under the nipple where the incisions meet. Is this worrisome?

I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast surgery. Although symmastia is not present, I do understand your concerns about the breast implants being quite close to one another in the midline. Although still too early to evaluate the long-term outcome of the procedure performed, it is...
The dark thing in the middle of the open wound might be your implant. If that is the case, and if it is exposed to the world, it will need to be removed. Please see your surgeon immdeiately.
Dear Alyssa,
Your implants will likely settle some more and give you some more fullness in the lower part of your breast (and less in the upper part), and the areola may shift slightly upwards as this happens. They will definitely look more natural over time. Hope this helps and good...
