Breast reduction 3 months ago. Right side had been leaking fat and was cut open again last week to redo the sutures.

It's been draining pretty bad since the first surgery and started to again 2 days after the second surgery. It also has a funky odor. Is this normal and how long should it take for it to stop draining? It only happened on the right side and the left side has been perfect.
