Small Bruising Appearing 3 Days Post-op Breast Augmentation Surgery Normal or Not? (photo)

Today is Day 4 since I had my breast augmentation. Any input if this is common? On each side of the right and left breast new bruising has appeared just today (not the bright bruise around incisions). Although I am going to try to get in to see my PS asap I just wanted to get your input as I am freaking out. Normal or not? Implant Info: 400cc High Profile,Silicone right and left. Submuscular Inframammary incision.

Slight bruising after breast augmentation

Hello. Thank you for sharing your post-op photos and congratulations. It is not uncommon to exhibit light bruising consistent with breast augmentation. So there is no need to freak out in my opinion. However, it is important that you keep an eye on your progress and note if there is any increase of the bruising that should be reported to your surgeon. I hope this helps. The best of luck to you and thank you for your inquiry. Dr. Sajjadian
