I'm 1 month post breast lift. I have discharge from open incisions under my breast and a foul smell. Is this a sign of an infection I spoke to my surgeon he said just to wash and cover it..
I had a breast lift and reduction about a month ago. Had complications in my right breast, at first the incision (in the T juncture) split open due to fat necrosis, more stitches were put in, then had a staph infection that caused the wound to split open again. So had another surgery to remove infected tissue and close wound. A few days ago (3 weeks after) I noticed a little hole, today I noticed this and clear discharge. Dr says it looks like a burn, I feel like I'm also rejecting the stitches?
I got a maxopexy done in late Feb, since then I've had constant problems with my breasts. I'm constantly in pain with the breasts, stitches are still in there, chest pains, kidney pains. I've seen 2 different surgeons since then and they say it's not to do with the surgery but I went to a breast clinic in hospital and they say that's it's definitely surgery related but the surgeons keep dismissing the problem. I have discharge and blood coming out of my nipple area every day.
I am 11 days post op breast lift and had my day after surgery strips changed today. My left breast had some clear discharge on the incision that smelled off. The nurse cleaned my wounds and put on new steri strips. She said it was fine and not to worry. Could the smell have been from the blood and oozing trapped after surgery? Do I put neosporin over the steri strips just in case? Should I still get them wet in the shower? The PS didn't seem concerned and I'm not on antibiotics.
top surgery (peri-areolar) last May 28, 2015 30th of May my drains on the left side were clogged cause of clotted blood couldn't enter the bulb.June 1, 2015 had my drains were removed.Left side was not healing very well. I've been cleaning it up for 3 days already and it still has a lot of discharge (blood ) everyday. I even use sanitary napkins so it won't seep throught my bandage/ wraps .MY appointment is scheduled after 2 days cause i have to travel just to see my surgeon. PLEASE HELP
I had a breast lift one week ago. In the last couple of days however, I have noticed when I take off my bra that I usually have a tiny amount of yellow fluid on my bra at the bottom where the vertical incision meets the horizontal line. It is very small (little dots) I am wondering what it is? Thanks
I am 5 weeks post op after having Breast Reduction/Lift and Impants OUT WITHOUT REPLACEMENT. I realize that's unusual but I didn't want any more upkeep. So, just after 4 weeks I noticed discharge, yellowish with darker red that lasted for about 4 days and is gone now. I assume I'm spitting stitches. Is this what that looks like? The photo shows the infra-mammary crease. Thanks.
Approx 3 weeks ago I had uplift breast surgery. Stitches were removed 1 week ago. My right breast has widend the vertical cut and is now discharging yellow liquid. What does this mean? Is it infected? Do I need to get stitches again? Will the skin continue to spread apart? Help!
