Question

Have had a BA done in 2016 and now all of a sudden i see these red veins on my nipple. Is it something i should worry about?

Dear katyxo31,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination but based on your photo, it looks like fresh stretch marks. If you are concerned, I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

The only thing red in your photos lies outside the areola and are stretch marks.  Has there been any weight fluctuations?  It would be hard to explain why they popped up now but they appear to be stretch marks.  See a local plastic surgeon if you desire confirmation.
