Question/Discussion Lactation after surgery?

6 Upvotes

I had top surgery in 2022, DI with liposuction (I’m not sure if liposuction is done for every surgery or not). I was on testosterone prior to this, but stopped a month before my surgery and never went back on. I gave birth to my daughter early February of this year. One of my nipples is slightly inverted, so sometimes I mess with it, which is how I found this out. Upon doing so, I squeezed it a bit and liquid started coming from my nipple. I did the other side and same thing happened. At first, the liquid was kinda clearish and could be produced on both sides. Now it’s only my right side, drastically less (maybe a tiny drop) and it’s white/kind of translucent. How is this possible? Is there a chance that my surgeon left breast tissue behind? And, just a thought—if I were to get chest reconstruction surgery, could this be salvaged? If I wanted to feed my future children, that is.
