Numbness in Armpit 4 weeks post op Breast Augmentation.

January 17, 2017
Asked By:castleman in Jackson, TN

I had silicone gel implants under the muscle 4 weeks ago. I had severe bruising (black/purple) that has almost gone away (now looks like a shadow now) but is still really sore. The bruising is right where the bra sits across. Is this normal to have bruising this long? Also, I have numbness/itchy in my right armpit above the incision. The numbness/itchy just started a couple days ago. Is this normal? The incision has closed up nicely and doesn't appear abnormal. Thanks- HC
