Black dot along incision line, 4 months post op Breast Augmentation? (photo)

I had my breast augmentation 4 months ago, and my surgeon recommended I start using mepiform silicone sheets for my incision site. I have been using it for almost 1 month now, usually just leaving it on at all times until I need to reapply. I took it off earlier to see a black dot, and I am now worried. Can you tell me if I should be concerned, and what I should do. I have used some peroxide on it. It doesn't seem to hurt nor is it oozing.

I usually recommend my patients wear a good supportive bra for two months day and night after their surgery. However, you should follow your surgeon's advice regarding wearing your surgical bra after your breast augmentation surgery. It may be different.

Thank you for your question and photos.  Having some bruising is normal after surgery.  Usually by 5-7 days most of the bruising is resolving.  There is often bruising at the bottom of the breast because gravity pulls things down and a small amount of blood can settle at the...
