I had breast reduction and lift when I was 21, when I was 22 I had implants put in 10th April 2019. Since October 2020 I’ve been experiencing weird purple discolouration on the left one under my nipple and on the sides I’ve been getting red patches of skin, and the last few weeks slight discomfort. Is this normal?

Thank you for your inquiry. For patients with smaller breasts and no sagging I usually use the submuscular pocket because I prefer the extra tissue coverage over the implants, although other experienced surgeons report good results using the subglandular pocket. There are unique advantages and...
I use smooth round implants placed behind the muscle for better upper breast fullness, avoiding the implant edge, and fewer long term problems like late seromas. Placing the implant behind the muscle will give the anatomical look as well. Plus, the muscle helps support the weight of the implant.
