Stephen A. Goldstein, MD answers: Discharge after Breast Lift?

I'm four weeks post-op. My breast has been leaking moderately for appprox 3 weeks. Am I lactating, or is this post-op discharge? Should I be worried?

At four weeks following a breast lift procedure it is abnormal to be leaking any fluid whatsoever! The potential problems can range from very simple to complex. Do not risk it. I would strongly recommend that you go back to your treating surgeon for a thorough evaluation and work-up.
