Nipples Oozing Clear Fluid 8 Weeks Post Op After Fng?

Question

I am 8 weeks post op and had a fng. My nipples are constantly oozing a clear fluid all day. The constant oozing causes my bra to stick and gauze pad to stick and i have to peel it away. The oozing is cause a rash too. No pus iscoming out. All my incisions are closed. My bra stays constantly wet like a new mother leaking milk. What could this be. My PS keeps saying it is normal.

Eight weeks after a breast reduction unless there are wound healing issues the area should be dry. I think you're wise to keep in touch with your plastic surgeon.

I don't have a simple answer and this sounds a little unusual after a free nipple graft, in which the connections with the underlying breast are completely removed...consider a second opinion from a board-certified surgeon near you?
