Asked By:ariel00 in San Diego, CA

5 days post implant exchange & periareolar scar revision.I went from midrange silicone 457cc-491cc to 371cc-392cc.My original surgeon did not use a permanent suture w/ benelli lift.Dissolvable sutures didn't hold + much large implant than I wanted,was left w/ 1 inch widened unsightly scars.New surgeon used a permanent internal suture for revision.Is this much blood on the steri strips normal?Looked like this since 1day post op, dried blood. Will 95ccs be a noticiable difference? I am 5'4" 125lbs
