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: 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
