I am 3 weeks post op B.R. At my 1 week appt the nurse took my tape off & removed skin from the right breast. she said it was superficial and would heal in time. When I went in for my 2 weeks appt more skin came off. I have appt in 3 weeks to remove my stitches but I decided to remove the tape myself as to let the skin heal on it on, but now it's turning a weird color!! Is this normal at my stage in recovery??? Also I have large bulges on both sides of my breast.... am I healing properly.
