Yesterday I Had Discharge From one nipple, it is odorless, clear and at end yellowish from one of my nipples (tiny whole). I called my surgeon and showed him these photos and he said that is normal, that it was leftovers from my internal sutures. I wanted a second opinion just in case.

My breast is not swollen, not red and I don't have a fever.
