Asked By:saoirseK in Dublin, OH

Hi I am 10 days post Op after breast reduction and after 5 days my nipple started to go a kind of black colour and looked like dried blood, today after I showered the skin started to peel from my nipple revealing pink tissue, my surgeon said this is normal but I’m just hoping I can get a second opinion as I am so worried that I’m going to lose my nipple
