Two Weeks After Explant, from Day One Nipples Sensitive and Smell of Stale Milk?

Question

There looks to be a faint smell of milk from the nipples and a very slight white flaky residue, nothing major at all, Im just courious, the milk ducts look big but the nipples look in good colour and over all everything feels good. They are a little inverted at the moment. Time to see the doctor, or let things settle down?

The answer is in your query. As breast tissue contains mild producing glands (lactiferous) any surgery or pressure in this area (especially from within the breast can stimulate them to produce milk. I would not worry as the implants are now removed and the stimulus should also be removed, and the gland tissue should gradually reduce milk production. Just use sterile water to bathe the nipple area until it has stopped secreting.
