What should I do about skin that turned black after breast lift? (Photos)

Asked By:sm27 in Miami, FL

Hi I'm concerned over an area under my right breast that turned black. Is it dead skin? Why did it happen? What could I do to prevent it? Is it something I should be worried about? I am 12 days post op since my breast lift with an anchor lift.
