New bruising and slight pain 4 weeks post op mastopexy. Should I be concerned?

March 4, 2019
Asked By:bbullard0

I had a breastlift 4 weeks ago. I have been walking outside since 5 days post op, adding a little distance weekly. I’ve had no complications and have been healing well. Today I vacuumed and changed sheets on the bed. I showered and noticed new slight bruising on the outer side of one breast. It is a little painful. Should I be concerned? Or have I just overdone too soon? I had surgery in FL and am back in my home state so a recheck at the original surgeon is not an option, Thanks
