What is too much bleeding for a (post-op four days) nipple graft? (Photo)

Asked By:jmg07 in Indianapolis, IN

Last night was the first time i have had a decent sleep but I woke up this morning and had wet blood on my arm (from my chest). Needless to say I freaked and took my vest off to look and there was quite a bit of blood in and around my right nipple. We called the surgeon and they said bleeding is fine as long as it isnt constant and excessive. Within the hour it had stopped. But I have noticed it is starting to seep through my vest again. Should i call again? My post op appointment is Thursday.
