My doctor just found a hematoma after 11 days post op of breast implant surgery. Is that common?

I have to go back in for surgery in 3 days for him to check and see if he can drain out any blood and I am super nervous. I have never had surgery before my breast implants and I am nervous about the whole thing. Is it a common thing to have a hematoma? Is there anything that I should be nervous about?

    Elective surgeries like breast implantation can traumatise tissue. Hematoma is normal, you dont need to be nervous

    Hello,

    Sorry to hear about this. It is not common but happens about 1-2% of the time. I have had one case in over ten years and consider myself lucky.
