Bruising is normal after breast augmentation/lift

It's not uncommon to experience some degree of bruising from any surgical procedure, just as breast augmentation and lift surgery. As long as you are not experiencing excessive amount of swelling and rapidly expanding bruising, then you should be fine. It's always a good idea to check back with your surgeon to make sure that the amount of swelling and bruising are within normal range and not excessive. Best Wishes,

Bruising after Breast Augmentation/Lifting?

Some degree of bruising/swelling is normal after breast augmentation/lifting surgery. Whether or not the bruising you are experiencing is “normal” will be best determined by your plastic surgeon on follow-up. It is also normal for the swelling/bruising to move downwards (south) or posteriorly ( towards the back) as time goes by. Again, best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon for examination and probable reassurance. Best wishes.
