breast reduction/lift please help
I had breast reduction with lift on August 23rd all was well until about last Friday when I noticed on my left side a red area by Saturday it began running a clear yellow fluid. I thought no big deal put neosporin on it. Well it is not any better now I have an area right beside this one that is not open, the other one is, that is red hot I can feel it through my shirt and if I just light touch it a clear yellow fluid comes out. I myself have had no fever. So today I call the surgeon's office and his nurse says she thinks its fine just to put vaseline on it that this is my body's way of getting rid of the fluid. I was not under the impression that she asked the doctor. I gave her explicit details of how it looked and felt. It is very painful. Has anyone else had this happen? I hate to bother the doctor if she says its fine but I am concerned. It also burns real bad like a stinging feeling. Thanks for any help.
I would call and ask if they could squeeze you in to see the dr. If they say they can't then you should leave a message for the dr to call you back. I wouldn't worry about bothering the dr, that's what they are paid for. I know anytime I had a concern about something they wanted to see me right away just to make sure everything was okay.
