My right breast is doing great but my left is a little more painful, I'm 3/4 days post op I have a picture of my bruise from yesterday and today it looks lighter but bigger? Just making sure this is ok. The picture with the yellow hue around it is today
Answer: Bruising After Breast Augmentation Thank you very much for your question and photographs. It is common to see bruising immediately after a breast augmentation procedure. At four days post-op, you are in the early stages of healing and will notice bruises that turn a yellow-ish color as they start to fade. However, it is always wise to bring any changes to the attention of your operating surgeon. I suggest contacting him/her with your concerns about these bruises, to ensure a safe and satisfactory recovery.

Answer: Is bruising normal after surgery? Thank you for your question and your excellent photos. Based on your time frame after surgery having bruising is totally normal. it will more than likely turn green than yellow. I would recommend using Arnica Montana to help with the bruising and the swelling. If you're still unsure I would recommend following up with your board-certified plastic surgeon to make sure that things are okay and going the way they thought they should be going. Good luck.Congratulations on having your surgery.All the best,Carlos Mata M.D., MBA, FACSBoard-certified plastic surgeon

Answer: Bruising after breast surgery Thank you for asking. Bruising is variable from patient to patient and from side to side. If 1 side is significantly more uncomfortable and has more bruising than the other, patients should contact their PS to discuss. Minor bruising is usually transient and temporary. Best wishes!

Some mild bruising after surgery is not uncommon and as it appears to be improving likely all is okay. I would follow up with your surgeon to voice your concerns and to ensure all is well.

Answer: Bruising after BA Dear chy1410,every surgery will cause bruising. Based on your photos, it doesn't look unusual but it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon in case you are concerned. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
