Is my Nipple Tissue Dying After my Breast Lift /silicone Implants? (photo)

January 14, 2013
Asked By:Aggie20

Im 19 and I had an anchor lift and silicone plants on Tuesday ( it is now the following Monday) The day after surgery they looked good but then started turning almost black on the outside of them. I went back to the doctor today and he was shocked and I was the first person he's had that happen with. He took off the tape and peeled off the blackish layer of dead skin and them pushed puss out ( I know gross). He gave me cream but it looks even worse. I don't know what to do. Freaking out.
