I had a breast reduction 6/27 the day after my left breast had swollen to double the size of the right breast. My surgeon surgically drained the hematoma in his office as I had eaten and couldn't be taken into surgery. Now my left nipple feels weird and my left breast aches. The nipple has sensation but it has multiple cracks in the Areola. Their are no steri strips on this breast.
Answer: NIPPLE´S OK From a simple glance your areolas look fine, the image is not compatible with nipple necrosis. Your surgeon did an excellent job draining the hematoma and saving the nipple. Please be patient, and go all the way along with your surgeon, everything looks fine. Best regards.

Answer: Necrosis? Dear vsftobombshell,it is hard to tell without an examination. Based on your photos, it doesn't look like a necrosis. However, if you are concerned you should consult your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Nipple appearance after re operation for hematoma after breast reduction It doesn't appear that there is any necrosis of your left nipple. It would be normal to have more discomfort after reoperation, since a second breast procedure, and internal manipulation of the breast was required.
