Is it normal to have milk leak 12 days post op after breast augmentation?

May 5, 2018
Asked By:ashley.cc

I had my breast augmentation done on April 16th. I saw my plastic surgeon for 2nd post op April 27th to remove stitches. I noticed in those last few days sometimes I felt like a milk letdown. On April 28th, after intercourse, a few drops of milk came out of my right breast, the more tender one. I stopped breastfeeding July 14th and full dried up by October. Is this normal? I tried calling and leaving messages with my plastic surgeon but have yet to hear back from him.
