I had a breast reduction about 10 days ago. My nipple area had poor circulation since leaving the OR. What are my options? A little background, I am 32 years old, I had breast augmentation surgery when I was 19 and a revision at 20 to correct differently shaped and sized breasts. During this most recent surgery, I had both implants removed and and had a lift and reduction.
