Massive bleeding after breast lift. It's still leaking. Is this normal?

Question

Have had a breast up lift and after two weeks had a massive bleed and had to go to AE who dressed the wound. That was two days ago and its still leaking is this normal

It is impossible to give you advice without a photo and being able to compare sides. You need to be assessed by your PS asap and make sure there is no haematoma. It is usual to have some oozing but a massive bleed usually means a return to theatre.

Call your surgeon. With concerns like this, you need to be closely followed,  with in-person visits, by your own surgeon.
