Bruising One Week After Breast Implant Surgery

November 19, 2010
Asked By:amalie in Huntington Beach, CA

I got my implant on 11/09/2010, under the armpit, saline 375cc. I started out with an A cup. I followed all of surgeon instruction. There was no bruising the first four to five days; however, it been starting to bruised really badly the last couple of days, under the left breast, about 1.5 inches long and 1 inch wide. On my right side, not under the breast but the side it's about 4 inches. The bruises are very dark, a bit black and blue. Is this normal and will it go away?
