Breast Augmentation Incision Re-opening, Leaking Yellowish Fluid

Picture of incision splitting

Before my implants were removed, the incision split open. Doctor said my skin was too thin and sensitive. Strangely, it wasn’t initially, but there were issues nevertheless. First the right side split open, re-stitched and followed by leaking yellowish fluid on the left side, small blisters appeared around the incision and finally the left incision split open.
Then doctor made decision to remove implants. Right now, am healing but with left side leaking tremendous amount of fluid & blood it’s scary.

Who did your procedure if you don't mind me asking? I'm glad you're now healing. That's what is important.
Do you have diabetes or do you smoke? It seems like your body is having delayed would healing. Have you had issues with wound healing before? I truly hope thing work out for you and you have time to recover. Best wishes

Removed implants due to incision opening.

Doctor removed implants to let skin heal properly. Assured me that it is not seroma, implants were not infected. Just that my skin is too thin and sensitive. 4 days later, bleeding and oozing from my left side, doctor changed dressing and today starts oozing and bleeding again. Any idea why?

Breast Augmentation Incision Re-opening

BA on 2Nov, sent home to return 2 weeks for doctors review, 2-3 days before the review date, left side started leaking yellowish fuild, right side oozed black blood. Went back and forth doctor’s office for almost 2 weeks until right side suddenly split open. Doctor did a re-stitch 3 Dec, then provided me a bra, nurse gave me a bra that was too small and I wore it for almost 5 days before changing to the right size, which explains the uneven swelling in the pics. The wound is now looking worse and worse, the left side incision has split open again but my skin is too soggy to be able to handle further stitching. Doctor then advise to stop wearing the bra. What can I do next? How often should I have been changing my dressing? Should I be hospitalized until my wound is completely closed? Should I have been given a bra in the first place?

Mine also did that but it kept oozing yellow liquid. I became septic and spent 13 days in the hospital trying to save my life. I lost both implants!!!!! Do not go to Dr Julene Samuels ( Louisville Ky) She hasn't taken any responsibility or offered to repair my misshapen body
I would immediately get a second opinion. Could be infected
I agree, I would go to the ER if I were you
The photo that is caption "left side split open" the left side of that incision, and I could be completely wrong but it appears there's a dark color inside of the incision and it reminds me of photos I've seen of the implant pushing out. I truly hope that is not the case for you.
