Clear Discharge from Breast with Capsular Contracture?

April 9, 2012
Asked By:TheBeautyDiaries in New York, New York

Hello, I have already posted a question about my Capsular Contracture and I know it needs to be removed, which I plan to do shortly. However, while I was massaging the breast it started leaking clear odorless fluid from the nipple. I am getting really worried about it and not sure if it is due to the massage, the capsular contracture, both, or something more? Also, I am wondering if surgery to remove the capsule and implant will be contraindicated while there is discharge?Please help.Thank you
