Fluid in breast after reduction

It is very common to have fluid in the breasts after reduction. As long as the breasts are soft, and as long as you do not have fever or other signs of infection, the mere presence of the fluid is of no concern. You may have some leakage through basically intact wounds for up to two weeks. Things should slowly improve, and ultimately all the fluid will disappear. It looks like you had a good result.

Fluid in breasts

At 9 days you may feel a bit of fluid after breast surgery. Often this fluid gets absorbed. If it does not, it may need to be aspirated
