I had gynecomastia surgery almost 2 weeks ago, and almost immediately noticed fluid movement around the breast. A week after the surgery my surgeon thought aspiration would be good, so I had fluid aspiration that day. I had 100ccs of fluid taken out, and 5 days later, today, it seems to be coming back the same as it was. Is this normal? I'm scheduled for another checkup in a few days and will another aspiration fix this? Thanks
