I had my stitches removed at 3 weeks. I am now 4 weeks post op and have several scabs and holes around entire areola? Is this normal? When the stitches were taken out I was bleeding and dr said to put peroxide and than scar cream on the area. I am afraid that I will have areola deformities and scars. There are also black spots under the skin that look like part of the stitches, how can I get these out?

At 5'1", an 800 cc implant is gigantic, I'm amazed your surgeon was even able to get those in! Be patient as you heal and give your body time to stretch out.
