Asked By:finickyme in Miami, FL

I am 2.5 weeks postop from a breast lift and implant surgery. I am extremely happy with how my breast look. However, as the last of the scabs have come off in The last few days I've noticed a discoloration around the edge of my nipples. Should I be concerned? Is this normal? Will it heal and return to it's normal color? I should disclose that at around 2 weeks post op I vaped at an extremely low nicotine level over the weekend and had some wine. Could that have caused this & can it be corrected?
