Have Ongoing Bilateral Bluish/red Discoloration. Has Anyone Ever Seen This?

I'm scheduled for 2nd reduction Sept/27. My problem. Breasts are bluish/red discoloration bilaterally. My PS doesn't think discoloration is related to prior surgery, however, she suspects it's due to massive spider veins. I'm afraid that heavy discoloration indicates poor circulation and/or vascular disorder. I'm worried that this might cause surgical complications and prevent proper healing.. Is ANYONE familiar with bilateral breast discoloration ? Bellasma (will post pics asap)
