Hematoma/bruise lasting over 2 years - should I seek additional medical attention?

Most patients who developed brussing of the area where surgery was performed few months after surgery, there is usually a small trauma, so insignificant that patient does not rememeber. In some other situations it may be result of possible coagulation disorder, etc. It is unlikely that it has dirrect connection with your surgery. You should consult a laser institute to see whether they can treat skin discoloration of this kind. Hope this helps.

Dear Cassandra3577,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You did not post photos, but you could have had some red blood cell pigment deposited in that area when an actual bruise was present. Sometimes this happens with liposuction and trauma. If you develop more areas, please see your medical doctor.

If your bruise appeared following a surgical procedure, within three weeks to a month, that would be related. A bruise, appearing without any memory of trauma might still be from trauma you cannot recall, or may be associated with coagulation or clotting issues. A sonogram or a GYN breast exam is certainly warranted. if it’s just a permanent bruise, you may consider having laser treatment help to alleviate the problem.

Hi and welcome to our forum!Trivial unrecalled traumatic episodes may have resulted in intracutaneous and subcutaneous bleeding. It may result in extravascular blood cells (escaped blood) to be deposited into the skin and soft tissue. It usually resorbs, but if significant, the iron in your red blood cells may be deposited into these tissues, causing permanent color alteration. If a breast implant resides close to the skin surface, there may be resulting thinning of the overlying skin.
If there is a history of excessive bleeding, see your family physician. If concerned about the skin lesion, visit a dermatologist for evaluation and discussion.If your breast implant resides immediately below the skin surface, see your plastic surgeon.Best wishes...

Your bruise on the side of your left breast two years old which has had no noticeable changes is not explainable without an examination. You should seek a second opinion and consider imaging studies, as indicated.
I have never seen anything like this in my practice.
Best Regards,

you can get what is called hemosiderin staining after bleeding but that is much more common in an injury to the legs. I doubt very much that it relates to your previous BA done 2 years ago.
