Leaking is not a normal outcome.

John Philip Di Saia, 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?

Hello,

Please have your doctor evaluate you to be sure you do not have an infection. Leaking this far out is a sign that trouble may be coming.
