What if Breast Hematoma Goes Untreated?

July 21, 2012
Asked By:IdontKnow123

I am 6 weeks post op. i have a diagnosed hematoma under 1 breast that caused capsular contracture. Had lot of bleeding on one side post op, then purple discoloration that spread and turned entire bottom of breast hard. Now it's breaking up and I feel like 5 firm separate areas. Skin is still discolored. Other than capsular contracture and the obvious embarassing discoloration, what happens if I just never remove it or treat the hematoma? So far no signs of infection. Thank you
