I recently noticed that more and more purple capillaries are showing up at the bottom pole of my breast. I am three months post-op from bottomed-out Breast implants repair that has failed. Should I be worried about these capillaries or blood vessels showing up? What is happening here? Would appreciate your opinions. Thank you.

Thin skin after attempted repair of bottomed out breast implants a possibility here

 I would definitely follow up with the surgeon who did the operation - if there is a significnat amount of pressure on the lower pole of the berats it coulb be thinning out the skin, causing the appearance you describe.

Hello,  This could be nothing or could be the implant under very thin skin cover looking like veins. You will want your surgeon looking at this to help guide whether or not anything should be done about it.
