Post OP yellow liquid coming out of nipple. Is it normal?

Question

I am now 1 week post OP, breast augmentation, implant of cohesive gel under the muscle. My left breast is more tense than the right one and hurt a little when I squeeze it (post op massage). My concern is that there’s some yellow liquid coming out from my nipple... I called at my surgeon office and the secretary said that it is normal, but is it for real? Thank you!

Dear Sophie1208,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD
