Itchy bruise that won't go away. I had my breast implant surgery back in March. (photo)

Question

Months ago I noticed a dark spot on the side of my left breast. The spot looks like a bruise and it get really itchy. It hasn't gone away and I'm getting really worried. What can be the cause?

Brian Coan, MD, FACS · Answer

Congratulations on your recent surgery and thank you for sharing your question about your post operative recovery and results after your surgery.  Final results can take 6-12 months for all the swelling to subside.  At our office we actually see all of our surgery patients the very next day after surgery and then again at two weeks and beyond. We enjoy staying closely connected to our patients and enjoy giving the extra attention and service. Your concerns are important to discuss directly with your board certified plastic surgeon.  He or she will appreciate the open communication and will want to help you. I hope this is helpful and wish you all the very best.  Sincerely, Brian S. Coan, MD, FACS
