Hello,This could be related to stimulation of the milk glands, or serous fluid. If discharge is accompanied by redness/pain/swelling, that will be more of a concern. I recommend that you share your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon to rule out anything more serious.All the best
If you are experiencing severe redness, swelling, #drainage, #oozing or odor, it is important to call the office and speak with the doctor or medical staff. You may need to be seen in the office and evaluated. If the wound becomes separated or you develop a small opening, this again should be evaluated so that appropriate steps can be taken as soon as possible.It may be best to see your surgeon for advice. But, if my patients have concerns that their #healing or pain are unusual, it is important for them to call the office and discuss these concerns or come in to be examined.
Hello,This is not too uncommon and represents fluid production by the glands. The act of massaging your breasts may even be stimulating its production. Since implant massage is unnecessary, you should stop. Soon your discharge will stop too.Best of luck!
I agree with Dr Ciresi that it is undoubtedly milk and will stop but if concerned see your surgeonDr Corbin
Thank you for the question.Best would be to discuss with surgeon. It may be milk, but usually is not clear and has whitish color to it. If clear, maybe saline leak, but you will see decrease in size. Maybe seroma or simply serous fluid, but generally too early. . There are many possibilities but they are generally benign and your surgeon should easily be able to guide you.All my best,
It all depends.If it was for reconstructive purposes, probably. If it was for cosmetic reasons originally, then maybe.Some plans I have seen say they will cover contractors in a cosmetic breast surgery:Grade III and IV only, or some say just IVBoth silicone and saline, or maybe just siliconeOnly...
In my opinion, what I would tell my patients who had breast augmentation, is that by six weeks, the scar is of sufficient strength that whatever they had done prior to surgery can be done at this point in time. So go ahead have fun on the roller coaster.
Thank you for your questions. It should not be a problem. Just keep your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon informed on the medications you take, when and why. Best of luck.Benjamin J. Cousins MDBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
