    This is not too unusual.  All breast surgeries cause fluid build-up.  We all had drains for a time.  But some patients just keep producing fluid or "sera" for a long time.  This is not a crisis, just very annoying and often painful.  But why some people keep filling up, I do not think anyone does, but some people just do.

    This will stop eventually.  She needs to get the aspirations whenever she feels she needs it and eventually, this will stop.

    Hugs, Shirlann
