I had an anchor type breast lift 2 1/2 months ago. Sometimes there's no discomfort at all, sometimes extreme itching (especially around the nipples) occurs. My breast also appears flushed and slightly bruised from below the nipple down to the crease underneath.
I'm wondering, could my vitamins have caused blood thinning, which later on resulted to this bruising/discomfort? I know that some vitamins are to be discontinued just prior to surgery, but I started taking my vitamins 5 days post-procedure. Could I possibly have started going back to the routine too soon?
Unless you were on megadoses of things like vitamin E, etc., it is not likely that the discoloration and discomfort is related.
Depending on exactly what was done at surgery, you will likely still have dull aching pain, that will wax and wane, but diminish over time.
The tingling is due to nerves regrowing, and this is a good thing as it indicates that sensation is returning.
The redd-ish color is due to increased vascularity needed for healing.
