Asked By:schillerclan in Woodbridge, VA

I had a breast reduction surgery on 26 Apr 18 and had oozing periodically but it stopped about 1 wk ago. My doctor said I could work out after 8 wks and I did some light chest exercises 2 days ago (65 days post surgery) I noticed this SOFT bruise under my incision between the areola & under my breast and 2 other areas under the other breast along the incision which looked like a hemorrhage? Can this be suture coming undone & bleeding internally? There is no liquid, blood but have shooting pain.
