I had a breast reduction about 3 weeks ago. This was a free nipple graft and everything. I had drains, "rosebuds", and stitches/staples removed with no issues. However, no the skin of the areola, which is a burnt, brownish color is coming lose & coming off. Sometimes it bleeds. Doc says skin is trying to take but a whole part of areola skin has come off.
