My brushing is severe specifically on one side. Still very soar. Wearing compression band and developedore brushing from it. Brushing does down my rib cage. I do normally bruise easily, just concerned about CC developing. 1 WK post op showed no main concern but advised to keep taking Arnica, use compression band and start massaging. Please help.
Answer: Severe Bruising Hello and thank you for your question. Looking at your photographs, your breasts are within normal range of swelling and bruising for being 9 days post-op. You have also indicated that you bruise easily, which explains your presentation. Please allow more time as you will note the swelling will come down. Keep in mind that during this post-operative period it is imperative that you avoid heavy lifting and over-activity as this can result in delayed healing. You may want to consider homeopathic natural remedies such as Arnica and Bromelain in which anti-inflammatory and anti-bruising properties may be of benefit to you. Please discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Good luck to you!

Answer: 9 days Thank you for your question. Your photographs indicate that you do, in fact, have significant bruising. That being said, you are early in the healing process and bruising and swelling will subside as healing progresses. Best to continue to follow the specific instructions given to you by your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery JG503. I appreciate your concern, however postoperative bruising at this stage of your recovery is not uncommon and it is not related to capsular contracture. Try to stay patient and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Capsular contracture Dear JG503,bruising can occur after surgery. Capsular contracture happens. In fact, every implant has a capsule form around it, its just a certain percentage develop thick capsules. There is a lot we don't know about it actually. Some think that bacteria that gets on the implant during insertion can increase the risk. Thats why we use a Keller Funnel in our practice to reduce that possibility. Our capsular contracture rate is less than 2% because we use a keller funnel as well as meticulous operating room techniques.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Bruising after breast augmentation Severe bruising is not common and it is too early in your healing to tell if this will develop into capsular contracture. In addition to staying in touch with your surgeon, you should consider having a hematology evaluation for any bleeding abnormalities.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
