When will lactating after a tummy tuck stop?

Question

Hi docs! I had TT 5 weeks ago. All is A ok. BUT I am lactating. My breast’s that I’ve done nothing too started feeling itchy and upon slight pressure starting producing milk. What should I do? When will it stop? It doesn’t leak on its own but I get pretty itchy and it bothers me.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

If you were not recently pregnant, the lactation could be related to hormone imbalances, medication side effects, or other health conditions. Schedule a follow-up with your PS for assessment.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

You should speak with your plastic surgeon about the lactation in your breasts. There's medication which can slow or stop true lactation and the need for this can be assessed by your doctors. Some blood tests may also be required to determine the cause of the milk production.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
