Thank you for sharing your question. If you are having drainage from your incision sites I would recommend applying gauze with a small amount of non-antibiotic ointment, such as Aquaphor. Best to always seek out your surgeon's advice as they know the full details of your procedure.
Breast reconstruction with tissue expanders followed by implant placement is a very different process than a breast augmentation. In breast augmentation we discuss the implants dropping and fluffing later on but in reconstruction with tissue expanders that process does not really happen, if it ...
