Since day 1 it was more swollen, bruised than the left one. However there is hickey like bruise that will not go away. I've sent my PS photos and she told me to apply rivanol +alcohol pads, and I did for 2days, where you can see it actually helped to reduce the red-hickey like spot and it started turning brown. But yesterday I had the the pad on me almost for the whole day and I think it actually burned me. there is no fever or pain but I am worried for infection;Your advise is appericated
Answer: Bruise won't go away. I'm sorry to hear about your burn. I suggest you notify your plastic surgeon if your skin has been hurt by what you applied. As far as your results, they look great so I don't think you should be so worried about getting rid of the bruise so aggressively. In time, the bruise will be gone. Speak with your plastic surgeon especially if you have an open wound on your breast. Best wishes always, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Bruise and Incision at 7 Weeks Post-Op HEALING AFTER BREAST SURGERY, AUGMENTATION, LIFTS 1. pain is variable 2. it takes 2-3 months for implants to settle and muscles to relax 3. celebrex, motrin, and muscle relaxers can help 4. massage and stretching may help 5. everyone heals differently 6. 4-7 days off from work is common HEALING OF SENSORY NERVES: Tingling, burning or shooting pains, which will disappear with time and should not alarm you, indicate regeneration of the sensory nerves. If these sensations cause pain, repeated, local self-massage helps. ASYMMETRY: The two breasts commonly heal quite differently. One breast may swell more, feel more uncomfortable, or have a different initial shape. After complete healing, they will be more similar and natural. You must have patience, but if this causes concern, ask questions of the doctor or the nursing staff. SHAPE AND CONTOUR: The final shape of your breasts will start to look its best approximately three (3) months after surgery. It takes time for the skin and muscle to stretch and relax around the new implant. The breast will often look higher, firmer, and “less natural” in the first three (3) months. It can take up to a year to see your final result. FOLLOW-UP EXAMS: These are generally done in 1 week, 2 to 3 weeks, 3 to 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months to 1 year, and 1-2 year intervals. In our office we include all of your follow up appointments in the initial surgical fee. Healing is likely still progressing and the best thing to do is to continue follow-ups with your surgeon to make sure that healing continues to progress.
