Without more detailed information it is impossible to say whether this is within normal limits or represents a seroma or infection. See your surgeon as soon as possible for evaluation.

I would contact your plastic surgeon and explain your symptoms. This may be normal although it could also be the beginning of an infection or a fluid collection. Some drainage is normal but to be sure, I would see your plastic surgeon.
