Should I trust my doctor and just wait or should I do smth else .I am scared to loose it.
Answer: Black This is not normal by any means however this a known complication after any breast lift procedure. Your surgeon should have made you aware of these risks, especially if a large implant is being placed or you are a smoker. At this point, your surgeon is doing the right thing by allowing the wound to heal on its own. Any revision done to soon could lead to a deeper infection and jeopardize your implant. Please follow up with your plastic surgeon regularly to ensure no further complications occur.

Answer: Lossing tissue is not normal and as you already know, you are living through a complication of a lift procedure. Your surgeon should be more than helpful in guiding you through this healing process as it reflects on him/her as well. This does happen and is every plastic surgeon's nightmare. Realize you will heal and your main concerns at this point would be preventing problems that could involved your implant.
