What is Making the Tissue on my Right Breast Turn Black? (photo)

June 12, 2013

I recently had a breast augmentation and made a large jump from 300ccs to 875ccs. Two weeks after my surgery I developed a discolored area underneath my right breast. The area has gotten worse over the course of 2months, my skin went from white (blanched) to purple to black and scabby. My PS told me that it is probably one of the most bizarre things he has seen. I have seen a dermatologist who said the tissue was necrotic, but necrosis normally sets in 2-3 days after surgery. I'm very worried.
