I only noticed today just how bruised my sternum is post op. Why does this happen? Once the bruising subsides should I expect to see more of a line between my new breasts? Thanks.

Answer: Bruising It is normal to have bruising after surgery and sometimes it does not really show up for a few days afterward. This should resolve gradually with time and should not negatively affect the result. As time goes on the swelling and bruising will go down. Typically the breasts will soften and the implants will settle in, giving a natural result. Postoperative massage manaevers will help. Discuss this with your surgeon for their particular protocol. Thank you for the question.

Answer: Bruised sternum: It’s been 6 days since my surgery. Based on the on photo, you should be fine. A little bruising can occur with any surgery. Once the muscle relaxes and the implants drop, you will be happier with your appearance. The implants will move and will look closer together. Good luck!
