5 days post op breast reduction areolas cracking. Can this be possible areola necrosis? (Photo)

July 2, 2017
Asked By:vsgtobombshell in Calabasas, CA

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.
