Hematoma draining on its own through an incision. (Photos)

Thank you for your question.  n examination is needed to fully answer your question.  Continue close follow up with your surgeon.  A Best wishes. 

I would agree with the other surgeons in that it is really hard to know what is going on without knowing what happened during surgery and what you looked like before.  Also, without an actual physical exam, it's next to impossible to determine where this hematoma actually is.  If the blood is in the subcutaneous space (just below the skin), then simply waiting and letting it resolve may not be a bad idea.  But if you have a large collection around your implant, then this needs to be drained.  Leaving it in place simply increases your long-term risk for infection and capsular contracture.Best first step?  Call your surgeon and let him know what is going on.I hope that helps!

Thanks for your inquiry, but without knowing the details of your surgery or an exam it is hard to advise. Follow up your surgeon closely and best of luck.  

Your operating surgeon is your best resource at this time. Be sure to keep in close contact your surgeons office and update them regularly. Best wishes.Dean Vistnes, MD.Vistnes Plastic SurgerySan Francisco Bay Area#realself #drdeanvistnes #breastlift #breastaugmentation
