What is White Substance after Breast Augmentation? Am I Healing Correctly?

anna1215
I had breast augmentation four weeks ago. At 10 days I noticed I had drainage on my left incision point. I took off the bandage and saw a small opening and white stuff. I returned to the doctor 3 weeks after this and he said it was tissue and prescribed me augmentin. He then removed the tissue. Approximately 3-4 days later the substance came back. I'm now on drumtrin b.s and was told to apply neosporn daily. What are the chances of healing at this point? Why is this happening? Any suggestions
