Hey, I just wanted to give you some sort of reassurance. If you still have fluid leaking you’ll most likely be prescribed with some antibiotics to clear any infected area. I was on antibiotics for 4 months and my wound wouldn’t stop leaking so they opened it up surgically to find the bone broken and away from the plate. For now I’m trying to heal and they said when I feel ready they’ll most likely do a bone graft from the hip to curate bone. I know it’s hard to not worry and to feel uneasy but it’s most likely just wound that’s not healing or an infection that’s flared up. My best advice is to not worry about things we can’t control and if it does come to the point of having to be surgically looked at, just know know that there is options and the more hardship we face the better the reward is. You’ve got this, make sure to update!

Hey @anbar04 You are a trooper! Sorry this has been a rough road for you. Tough times never last but tough people do.
They said the same things you told to repeat antibiotics, but for now, no infection or leaking so no antibiotics, they will do CT scan to check the bone health.

Thank you for your assurance @anbar04 . Glad to know that there are still options. Is yours Maxilla or Mandible? Mine is Left Maxilla bone. It's been 8 months since they reconstructed my flap, it was the first time it leaked 2 weeks back some yellow fluid after a lot of swelling for 2-3 days. No leaking since then, but I requested them to check because I have a concern. I will post the update tomorrow after my visit.
