How will I know if these are signs my breast are healing . The first week everything was OK 2nd week the areola skin starting peeling (another question previously asked) . Now in the 3rd week it's down to the pink meat. I are my nipples but what's next . I had tests done no bacteria found or infection and the Dr said my wounds heeled . When will the skin grow back normal and cover the bare areola? Is it healing or getting worse after breast reduction seen a new surgeon he said neosporin and fresh cured pads.
