    I am 2 weeks post op after 700cc. Recovery going ok and started showering from day 8. The last couple of days I noticed small white bit at the end of one of my incisions. I have had no bleed, but very small weeping of tiny bits of fluid (stain on bra) that I notice end of the day. I have blown up these pictures because naked eye you can’t really see anything. Is it puss or where the stitch is dissolving and that stitch maybe a bit stubborn ? I would appreciate opinions or comments please.

    Hey Hun I had a stitch poking out both sides but they were always dry, I wouldn’t worry about it but I would get it checked just because it looks a little sticky and may just need a little help xxx

    Thanks girls for your comments. To be safe, I telephoned my patient co-ordinator lunchtime today and arranged to pop in later today for very quick ‘nurse look’. The MYA team seem very good on these sort of questions post surgery and I find they will always accommodate wherever they can. Reaction time appears good.

    I’ve asked my mum who’s a nurse and she thinks it’s the stitch but because it looks a little open and inflamed she recommended going to your gp and seeing them they might put a dressing on or give you some antibiotics too reduce the redness around that area xx

    Thanks for your comments so far girls. I saw the nurse at MYA Fitzroy this afternoon (Thursday) who was incredibly helpful. Re-dressed scar, told me keep an eye on it and review in few days. Very impressed by the aftercare already. Only downside really is another few days of not fully showering.

    Thanks, the nurse I saw was Sarah at MYA Fitzroy and she was brilliant. Took the time to give me tips on keeping clean over the next 7 days and re-booked for a follow up Monday 14th.
