I am 4 weeks post breast augmentation surgery and still have bruises from the tape. Is that normal for bruises to take such a long time to heal? Besides that, my breasts look and feel great
Answer: Brusing 4 Weeks Post Breast Augmentation - Do I Have A Problem? From the photograph you sent of your excellent breast augmentation, I seriously doubt at this point that you have a problem.Small blood collections (non hematomas) in the subcutaneous tissue often take weeks to migrate to the skin. Since the migrations usually occur downward and not upward because of gravity and the normal flow of lymphatics in that part of the body, I suspect you have delayed bruising to the upper part of your breasts. This bruising in my experience takes a long time to dissipate. If you were my patient, I would treat this bruising with topical DMSO which opens choke vessels leading to an increased number of white blood cells to any given area which hastens the elimination of bruises. I highly recommend you discuss your concerns with your personal plastic surgeon.

Answer: Bruising 4 Weeks Post Op BA Bruising is normal and to be expected following any surgery. Some individuals have no bruising, some have a little, and some have quite a bit; it is unpredictable. Bruising from the tape appears to be dissipating. If it does not fade within a few days, phone your plastic surgeon's office.

Answer: Bruising Your results look great. The bruises are turning yellow which is the final phase of your body destroying the red blood cells. This phase usually takes about 1 week before you see an improvement. If you left it alone, you will see improvements over the next week or so. I find that massaging and using warm compresses helps to speed up the process.

Answer: Bruising after Breast Aug Most patients should have no bruising after breast augmentation, and those that do usually only have it for a week or two. That said, every once in a while someone will have bruising that takes a longer time to go away. I suspect your bruising was from bleeding during or right after the surgery since I can't see how tape would cause a bruise this large. I would check in with your surgeon to make sure he or she thinks it is ok. Even if things look and feel fine now, if there is any blood around the implant, it can increase your long term risk of capsular contracture.

Answer: Bruising after breast augmentation Though bruising like you have is uncommon, it is not unheard of. These can take some time to disperse after surgery.
