Currently treating it with aquaphor and patience. PS said to give it time and that drainage/debridement isn't necessary. I've seen progress in the last week (posted a pic for some reference) but how long before something like this takes to heal fully and for pigment to return? I am in touch with my PS but just wanted to hear what you all think. Thank you for your time.

Answer: Necrosis after breast reduction surgery? Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure. You will find that the area of concern will likely heal over the course of the next several weeks. I think that you will be pleasantly surprised at how good the area will look (contour improvement) in a few months. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.

Answer: Nipple/Areola Necrosis Congrats on your surgery. Although you are having some healing issues, long term you should be pleased with your result.I would continue with your follow ups with your PS and continue with the recommendations. I would agree at this point I would continue with watchful waiting and allow the area to heal it by itself. Daily dressing changes will help.Good luck.
