I recently had an excisional biopsy on my left breast because of a bleeding nipple. My surgeon is convinced that the bleeding was due to a hematoma that was caused from a previous stereotactic biopsy. Now two weeks after the surgery, my incision is healing well, but I have watery light red discharge coming from multiple locations in the nipple. Is this normal due to the surgery?

I don't know how common this is, but I'd suggest that you report it to your doctor to find out if you need to be seen. Usually a biopsy would be pretty well healed after two weeks. It may be nothing to worry about, but do call it to the doctor's attention.
