1 day post mastopexy with implants, did I hurt myself trying to change bras? (photo)

Q
QueenieEMar 31, 2018

I had mastopexy with implants yesterday, my doctor gave me the ok to change into a different bra. I was put of my bra for about 30 seconds and suddenly felt a horrible burning pain in the area around my areola. There is a drop of blood in the bra that I was trying to put on. I freaked out and put my surgical bra back on. Should I be worried?? Is there something I should look out for now?

Thank you for your question and sharing your photos.  Looking and your breast shape, I would tend to agree that your best outcome would be with a short vertical scar "lollipop" lift.  The donut lift does not provide as pleasing a shape and the scars can be more troublesome down the...
