The edge of the dermabond started to peel off one of the incisions, and I noticed some creamy, thick yellow-tan stuff oozing out of the incision. No redness, heat or pain, but it sure looked like pus. I called the surgeon's nurse coordinator (Hi Kathy!), who assured me what I was seeing was fat necrosis, not pus. The fat is almost literally melting and oozing out of the incision. I'm keeping a Band-Aid on it just to keep it clean and dry, but that's it.

Keep an eye on it, because you might have a seroma - that's what I had - they say its a 'collection of fat" under the skin that needs to come out. Mine leaked for 2 months before my incision finally closed! Gross and messy!
