Hi guys! I am 2 weeks post op - the incisions have been fine. No infections or bleeding. I have had some soreness, yellow bruising, swelling and some hardness inside the breast that my PS said was normal and associated with the bruising. Today however I noticed this.

Is this just a normal bruise? Thanks.
