I had a BA/BL in March2017. Had open wound been taking care of that but now the skin on the nipple is lighter almost the color of my skin. Is this necrosis? What can be done?
Answer: Nipple aerola scars The lighter color of your aerola and nipple area is loss of pigment and scarring. Some pigmentation may yet return. If needed the color can be improved with some tattooing in the future. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: AREOLA DISCOLORATION The changes in the color of the areola is from lack of pigment on them, the pigment cells in the skin are lost and then you have a different color now. You can get a tattoo to replace the pigment where is lost.

Answer: What does nipple discoloration mean? Is there necrosis? Thank you for your picture and question. The discoloration may be a result of scarring and wound healing. With newly healed wounds, it can take some time for the color to return, often a year or more. If after a year, the color has not returned, a good tattoo artist could easily match things up for you and tattoo the nipple to blend the colors.Hope this helps!

TREATMENT FOR YOU

Answer: What does nipple discoloration mean? Is there necrosis? It appears that you have hypopigmentation of a portion of your areola. A nipple that is necrotic will turn dark, and then part of it will slough off. There is then an open wound. You would know if you had necrosis while you were healing. Areas of hypopigmentation can be treated with tattooing and can give a very nice result. I would contact your surgeon for specific recommendations.

Answer: Discoloration Hello and thanks for your question. Discoloration and pigment changes around the incision and scar are common but I would ask your surgeon for his input. It does not seem that you have any active or frank necrosis. However the red area below your nipple looks a little inflamed or irritated. I would recommend going in to have it examined.
