Breast Reduction?

Question

I had 8 1/2 pounds of breast removed almost 3 years ago. I love my new size, but I have a question...
I had been breast feeding before I had the surgery (doc knew this) I stopped several months before the surgery, but there was still some milk when it was done. The doc was suppose to cut the milk ducts because I had to have so much breast removed (was at 38K, now 34 C.)
Anyway, I have this white stuff that I can squeeze out of my nipples (it's not liquid) it's always been like this since I healed and I thought at first it was dried milk because it was coming from those spots. But it's been 3 years, shouldn't it have stopped by now? And now one side has clear liquid sometimes. What could it be? I don't know how to bring this up to the doc, I'm so embarressed. And I think my surgeon is retired, so I don't know where he's at now (not that I'd want to ask him either.)

It's been going on for 3 years, no serious problem, I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if anyone else thinks it's just dried milk?

Answer 1

First find out for sure if your surgeon is no longer in practice.

Then talk to your doctor. No need to be embarrassed, they've seen and hard much more than you think they have!

K!!! J to a C cup here, congrats on your surgery :)

You could always ask on the Main reduction support board at http://www.breasthealthonline.com

Answer 2

Listen, you need to talk to a doctor, right now! Why are you asking a bunch of non-medical professional on-line to answer your medical problems. What if your medical condition is serious? Now, you get off your butt and get to a doctor's office and quit playing games. This is your health and you need to take some responsibility.

Answer 3

usually you either get that whilst pregnant before your milk comes in.
I have known women who have had milk for years, but that was wilst still feeding, I think you should speak to your doctor
even if it is for piece of mind if you mention you had surgery it should be looked into.
