I had surgery, but now

[Majetich]

Ok, I had the whole reduction surgery thing in May, and the results were splendid. My plastic surgeon told me about a week ago that I should massage the region in order to avoid any real scar tissue build-up, and about yesterday I noticed that there was a bit of clear liquid that would come out when I pressed my fingers on the areola (?). I was told once that that generally happens when they are growing, and my question for you is, is this a sign that they are growing again, and did I just waste all of my money on a surgery?

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

Hard to say exactly what you saw, but it does not indicate re-growth necessarily.  There are some cases in which some milk can be formed by the intact breast ducts and breast tissue -- and some of these are probably still present (directly below the areola) in order to support the areola.  The surgeon probably left this tissue there intentionally -- to prevent cratering.

Alright. Well I suppose I'm just going to hope I'm a little more lucky than to have it come back so quick or at all.
