Early stage nipple necrosis? (Photo)

September 25, 2014
Asked By:darkhorse27 in Grand Rapids, OH

Thank you for reviewing my question. I am 9 days s/p Bilat Breast Reduction & Lift. My chest felt very heavy & hard today so I decided to do a good inspection for something suspicious. I believe I have early sign of mild incision infection, my breasts are VERY firm in the upper quadrant & I have an appointment to see my surgeon in 3 days, but if this looks suspicious for necrosis, I'll get in a lot sooner!! I'm hoping someone can put my mind at ease so I can rest tonight!! Thank you!!!!
