I had another check up yesterday 4-29. It's looking better! I'm relying alot better and less stressed!! I'd have to change my opinion on worth it or not from "not sure" to yes! Very worth it! As the bruising fades and the implants drop I'm in love with the way they are looking! I was SO nervous going in not wanting to be too big. I was thinking 475-500cc range and was terrified when my dr suggested 550 or more. He told me I wouldn't be happy and they wouldn't look as proportionate as I was thinking. Getting out of surgery and having my hubby tell me he ended up doing 575R 590L I was so scared! But they are perfect! I actually think I little bigger would have been ok. I'm loving them! :)

I had bruising very similar to yours and mine went away about 2.5 weeks after my Ba. I didnt take anything for them but I do really believe that my massaging helped the blood circulation. No scars whatsoever from the bruising. Check out my review I hope that helps!

I had bruising before on my breast: not sure what caused it: but the good news is that it does go away in time; I didn't massage it I just left it alone: I'm not sure how long it took to go away but it did go away;

Hey :) I'm not a doctor but I thought I'd add my 2 cents. I've seen your situation a couple of times on previous reviews, and sometimes it seems like after surgery there was a "mild" haematoma - not so bad to the point that you needed to be reopened, but just some bleeding post-op which caused the bruising, but was able to naturally heal itself and close off the open vessel. The bruising wouldn't indicate any tissue or muscle damage which is why it probably wasn't very painful (perhaps only tender?) But that's just my opinion/theory :) Good news is if it is the above, then it can only get better and will heal naturally like a normal bruise. Hope I could help in some way.

I has my BA done on 4-18-13. The first couple days were swollen as to be expected with no bruising. Saturday night I noticed a small bruise on my right breast, it got worse by Sunday so emailed a pic to my dr. He said it looked to be bad, but normal bruising. By my post op Wednesday the bruising was horrible. I only have a pic of the right breast cause that's where it was the worst- but it went under both breasts and up my cleavage area. My PS didnt know what to make of it. He doesn't think it's a hematoma because I have no other symptoms. It's not more swollen than the other side, it doesn't hurt more than just soreness. So we are watching it and I go back Monday morning to see how it's doing. I guess I just want some more opinions? Have you seen this before? I'm worried about scar tissue, can I massage or will that make it worse?! I'll post the progressional pics of them! I was a 34 A before, went with saline MP 590 on left 575 on right. I'm 5'8" 145. Also an easy bruiser..
