Nipple Bruising After Breast Augmentation?

Any unforeseen development in the post-operative period should be immediately discussed with your surgeon.  Sometimes, especially in smokers, there can be a problem with the blood supply which results in changes to nipple appearance and healing. 

New bruising after a week of normal healing can be a sign that you had fresh bleeding around the nipple.  In most cases, bleeding in small amounts as long as it is outside of the breast implant pocket should be ok and the body should absorb it without a problem.  I would still have your plastic surgeon take a look at it and see if there is anything that needs to be done.

Sometimes initial bruising is not noticeable until it starts changing color. The tingly feeling can be entirely normal after such an operation and should improve over the next few weeks. If it does not, be sure to consult your plastic surgeon. Good luck!
