Specializes in Breast Surgery

Call now: You may have a hematoma--a collection of old blood built up from the time of surgery--or your surgery site may be bleeding. In any case, it is a good idea to let your surgeon know. The surgeon may wish to see you before your scheduled appointment in 4 days.

Dr Achong and another doctor agreed
