How much bleeding is normal after breast reduction surgery?

Kaerieann
I am day 1 after surgery and went home with no drains. When should I be concerned with the bleeding? The blood is frank and is still slowly seeping out under my left breast. It has soaked through the dressing pad and the surgical bra? Does this mean that I pooped a tich and need to have it redone? There doesn't seem to be a huge gap in between the stitches.
