Hi hotpink129,
  
Thank you for your question and photos. It is not unusual to experience some bruising, redness and itching on the incision site after breast augmentation surgery. Also, tightness may also be experienced as the tissues around the implants are still swollen following the surgery. It will resolve over time. 
  
However, if you experience significant change in the size of your breast and that the bruising persists, it is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
