Does this look normal? 7 days post op.
Answer: Nipples are alive! I do not see any sign of nipple compromise. At 7 days, your nipples would be black if they were "dead"(necrotic). If you are concerned about nipple numbness, it is common early post-op after a lift and usually resolves spontaneously. Numbness is not the same as necrosis from poor blood supply. Compromised circulation would be evident in the 1st few days post-op. I hope this helps!

Answer: Post Op Nipple Necrosis Hi dandrews40, I understand you are concerned with your nipples following breast lift surgery. Nipple necrosis appear black or purple, as it does not receive ample blood supply that allows healing and recovery. Based on your photos, your nipples appear pink and does not show any signs of nipple necrosis. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: How quickly would there be signs that the nipple had died after breast lift surgery? Yes, you appear to be healing very nicely; there is no evidence of compromised blood supply. Generally, compromised blood flow comes clinically evident very quickly (within one to two days) after this type of surgery. Best wishes.
