Asked By:SassyGal in New York, NY

At my 3 day post op my right areola looked black. THe Dr said it was just alot of bruising and didnt seem worried. Monday it was all flat and black. The attendee said nothing to worry about its normal as long as there was no yellow discharge Tues I the areola looks like is separating from the breast and the dark black hard area seems to be peeling off the rest of the areola underneath. I see him today
