Thin skin after attempted repair of bottomed out breast implants a possibility here

W. Tracy Hankins, MD answers: Veiny lower pole after revision surgery for bottomed out breast implants?

I recently noticed that more and more purple capillaries are showing up at the bottom pole of my breast. I am three months post-op from bottomed-out Breast implants repair that has failed. Should I be worried about these capillaries or blood vessels showing up? What is happening here? Would appreciate your opinions. Thank you.

 I would definitely follow up with the surgeon who did the operation - if there is a significnat amount of pressure on the lower pole of the berats it coulb be thinning out the skin, causing the appearance you describe.
