Asked By:wondrwomn in CA

I had a donut lift and BA (450cc gummybear implants over the muscle ) procedure performed October 7th it is now October 12th and after changing my bandages noticed some areas on my left arreola and nipple are dark and "pitted" there is also still some light reddish drainage. My right is healing fine. No drainage not dark at all. Should I be worried?
