Hi Georgie, you sound like you have the same thing that I had, and I wouldn't be wanting to wait till the 16th to see your surgeon, especially if it is getting harder and more painful. Mine grew very quickly, and it felt very weird. I may have had a slow leak happening over the previous days, but must have torn something while sleeping on my side for the first time. It scared me, as I could see a "third breast" appearing between my suture line and upper chest/ shoulder area. Because we were in Perth, and I was getting ready to go to the airport, we rang both my plastic surgeon and breast surgeon in Sydney. My PS said to go to the hospital and sort it out, and my BS said jump on the plane and come home. Because it had grown fast, I was worried about flying and what it would do, so did as the PS suggested and went to hospital. While they fiddled it just continued to grow till I couldn't put my left arm down. They talked of taking me to theatre and removing my expander, to which we baulked. We convinced the Perth plastic surgeon to speak with my plastic surgeon, and when we were comfortable that she would do the same as my fellow in Sydney, I went to theatre. They did remove the expander, cauterised the bleeder, removed the large clot, and replaced the expander. I spent 2 and a half days there, and came home to Sydney with another drain for a week. It was all treated seriously, and yours sounds like it is even bigger than mine was, so to have to wait another 3 days is a big ask. If you are interested, I can send you a photo of what mine looked like just before we went to the hospital. You can give me your mobile number either on here, or on a private message and I will forward it to you. At least it will give you an idea. All up I had a collection of about 1.2 litres of old and new blood. Good luck with everything. Love Chris xx
