I am 8 days post-op, crease incision, subglandular. Drain was removed 4th day post-op and on the 5th day, fluid started leaking out on my right incision. Left was completely closed. Fluid was clear, a bit pinkish in order amounting to about half a tablespoon a day. My PS removed the suture on the 7th day on both sides but put a rubber drain on the side that's leaking. I have no fever and pain is minimal to none unless I press it. I am still on antibiotic. Should I be worried?

Answer: Drainage from Breast Augmentation Incision
For your frame, it would not be unusual to have a narrow breast diameter. The implants that work in this diameter are in the 220-280cc range. I'm in agreement with you that the sizes you mention are probably a good fit for you.
I prefer the moderate plus implants; the high profile implants...
The triangle shape is evidence of the implant riding high. Massage of the implant with time will produce the results you desire if you pocket was dissected properly.
Sensible drinking (a glass or two) if you are no longer on pain medication or antibiotics should be fine. However, drinking to the point of blacking out is just unacceptable under any circumstances. This is way more than social drinking and I would suggest that you see a physician or counselor...
