One of my Nipples Has Turned Completely Black After Breast Reduction, What Should I Do? (Photos)

oblibio
I underwent surgery 15 days ago. I went from a 36H to a 36D after a week or so my right nipple started to bleeding and turned black. My plastic surgeon says it´s only partial necrosis and the best way to go is by solely applying antibiotic ointment. I really want to trust him on that but I´m so worried about losing my nipple (if it´s not too late already). Should I get a second opinion?
