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?
Hello,
Make sure your doc is seeing you through this, but you are probably OK. Itching and flushed skin is not uncommon at your stage. I doubt the vitamins had anything to do with it.

Vitamins should not cause all these signs and symptoms. I would recommend that you check back with your surgeon to rule out other causes. You are still in the early phases after surgery and wound healing is still in the active phase.
