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

July 11, 2018
Asked By:Sophie1208

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!

Francis Beninger, MD says:

The recuperation from subglandular and submuscular is really the same.  There may be a little less pain post operatively from subglandular but this is minimal with careful technique.  You should be able to raise your arms for example to wash your hair, within a day or two after surgery...
