1 week after breast lift with implants. Is this necrosis? (Photo)

August 5, 2018

So about a week after my breast lift with implants I noticed my areola was bleeding a little bit. I looked closer and noticed about 1/2 of it was black and after research learned this was necrosis. I contacted my surgeon and was told to clean it daily with saline and apply antibiotic cream twice daily. He says the pigment should return within a year. I’m just looking for more opinions. Does it look like a severe case? Does it look like the pigment will return? What is the yellow stuff leaking?
