Is this discoloration going away later? My doctor said it will take some time (Photo)

Hi and welcome to our forum!Bruising is common after BBL due to the extensive tunneling during the procedure. Its duration varies greatly depending upon the amount of bleeding during and after the procedure. Compression garments appear to lessen the extent. Bruising usually lasts for several weeks, but can last longer if bleeding was extensive. It can take months for resolution. If iron pigment from hemoglobin becomes deposited in the skin, there can be permanent discoloration.I would avoid tanning during the healing process (for up to a year) to prevent further discoloration. Discuss this fully with your plastic surgeon.Best wishes...

Dear Maylow,
I understand your concern and your discoloration will probably disappear with time. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, what you are experiencing is normal.
