I went for a breast lift and new implants 3 weeks ago. Dr was finished w me in less than 2 hrs. From day one My left side had a tiny hole that would ooze yellow. I called Dr that evening he said it was normal. 2 weeks still oozing & getting bigger each day, Dr still said it was normal. He never mentioned me bottoming out at all. I told him I'm having pain in my ribs on my right side- hurts to twist & turn/ breath deep- He still didn't seem concerned whatsoever. He does not respond to me directly he has his secretary email me when I have questions/concerns. I chose to go to a diff surgeon to get a 2nd opinion & he couldn't believe the wound, said I have bottomed out on both sides, that my incisions were extremely long, looks like a rushed job, and I will need revision in future. He put me on antibiotic for infected wound/ cleaned it and the wound seems to be getting better each day.
I posted pics below to get more opinions. How long do I wait- with
Pain getting worse everyday in my ribs- to have a revision? Do I need to have internal bra for best results so this will not happen again? My incision line is from middle of my chest to armpit- can this be revised to a smaller incision later?
Any other advise is appreciated :)
Thank you for your time & opinions!!

After showering this evening I noticed my open wound is now bleeding and discovered a second wound opening near incision site on same left breast side. Second incision site is oozing yellow. Im worried there is something else going on internally ?

He was my top pic as well. Mainly I thought he's so well known he has to be good. I feel like he rushed through my surgery so quickly and now I'm paying for it. I know there are risks with any surgery however bottoming out in both breasts immediately after surgery is his fault. I've been to three other Dr for help, all say he made my muscle pocket too large for my implant causing me to bottom out. Have you seem Dr Revis for a consult? I do know he is amazing at reconstruction- I should of went with him in the first place. Regretfully I did not and now I just want to heal and give myself time so I can go to him for revision- internal bra.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Have you contacted your plastic surgeon about this and to check and see if you need antibiotics?

Oh ruby I'm so sorry you are having issues. That infection looks dreadful!!! I suggest you contact your PS ASAP or else see another doctor to get on antibiotics!!!!!! It looks as if there's a problem with double bubble too....Was your surgeon board certified?? My heart goes out to you.
