6 Weeks Post Op

[Benmartin]

Hi guys,

I am 6 weeks post op now after having surgery with --. I can now stop wearing the vest during the day which is nice. -- were awesome and she did a fantastic job. No scars and fairly painless after a few days.

My nipples look good now, very flat, however my only concern is the fluid I keep getting. I get a small pocket of fluid, about the size of a marble that can be pushed from side to side. It is mainly on the left side.

I have to aspirate it every day at the moment. After it is aspirate my chest is completely flat and looks good.

I am not bothered about how it looks as I know it is fluid, I am bothered about why it is producing so much.

The fluid is translucent red / orange in colour. It does not smell. I aspirate around 1ML daily from the left, and 0.5ml from the right.

Is this normal? Should I continue to wear the vest?
