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 after a Breast Augmentation Some bruising and swelling is normal after any surgical procedure and from your photos this does not look alarming. Your implants will take a few months to settle, giving you more cleavage and better shape and fullness. I usually have my patients start massaging about a week post op to help soften and settle the implants. I recommend following up with your surgeon for any questions or concerns.

Answer: Bruising... it’s common to have bruising after breast implant surgery. This is likely the result of some red blood cells released from the vessels during surgery. Congratulations and good luck! Dr. Aldo

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!
