Should i seek additional care from hospital

Should I go to hospital? 1 week post op blister showed and surgeon said it would resolve but if it showed other symptoms let him know. later blister popped and surgeon told me to wipe any loose skin away and apply and antibacterial cream and then told me to doxicyline. That Monday went in to visit and he removed the tape and told me to drench the area in aquaphor and use tefla.

Looks like you definitely lost some skin and does not look like it is finished yet and you are most likely to lose a little bit more skin. Keep in close contact with your surgeon for wound care

Breast reduction surgery is a complex procedure, while your breast is reduced and completely reorganized inside. Sometimes healing takes more time than expected. You should be in contact with your surgeon, and you will get a step by step wound care management.
