Slight bruising 3 weeks post op breast implants. Is this normal?

October 9, 2014
Asked By:Jojo2411 in Edmonton, AB

I'm 24 days post op and noticed I have very slight bruising around the nipple of my left breast. My surgeon is out of the country for 3 more weeks so I can't ask him or make an appointment. Should I be worried? I jogged a few steps at work and they jigged some. Could that cause it? I'm a hairdresser so my arms are moving a lot at work. I don't want it to get worse. Is there anything I should watch for with this bruising starting?
