Dear JROTH: Fluid in the breast following surgery can be an entirely normal occurrence. It should be reabsorbed in time. You should let your surgeon know that this has occurred as a courtesy. If it gets any worse, you should also let your surgeon know. On rare occasions, the fluid may leak through the incision
