Why are my nipples black? I don't feel like I'm being given straight answers at the VA? (Photos)

Asked By:operationhotbod in Mesa, AZ

I had a breast reduction/lift/FNG on March 16. When my surgeon removed the FNG dressing my nipples were black. Today, 3 + weeks later, they are still black. Also, my incisions under the breast are nowhere near the same. I understand that I'm only 3 weeks post-op, but I need some reassurance.
