Brown fluid leaking from incision after breast lift no implants

Asked By:dking2075 in Toledo, OH

I am 3 weeks post op from a breast lift without implants. Suddenly my right breast started leaking dark brownish/reddish fluid (same as what was in my drains after tummy tuck). I soaked through 2 surgical pads in an hour. Unfortunately I'm a thousand miles away from my surgeon right now so I can't see him. I did speak with him and he acts like this is nothing to be concerned about unless it gets red and irritated. I don't see any openings in the incision but the leak was coming from a scabbed area.
