Discoloration post augmenttion

From your description, it sounds like you have a small bruise. This area may get larger and turn different colors before it resolves. You should show this to your board certified plastic surgeon for confirmation and whether there is any other clinical concerns related to this.

Bruising after Breast Implants

While many women don't bruise at all after breast augmentation, some women can have a little bruising, like a little red or purple patch around the incision sites or even more extensive bruising that may cover the breasts and even work their way down onto the abdomen after a few days. Your plastic surgeon should be able to reassure you when he sees you in your first postoperative visit and examines you.
