2 Weeks After Breast Reduction and my Incisions Are Bleeding and Oozing?

March 7, 2013
Asked By:ars_ii

I got breast reduction about 2 weeks ago and some of my scars are still oozing and bleeding so I have had to put gauze on those areas, but now where my incisions meet under my breast and just bellow the nipple it looks like the incision split. I do have my doctor's appointment in a couple of days but I wanted to know if there is anything I can do now. Also, is it okay to take the sport bra and gauze off for 12 hours and let the wound dry?
