Redness/bruising above tissue expander not improving, is this permanent? (Photos)

Asked By:amalmill

I had a bi-lateral skin sparing mastectomy 8 weeks ago with tissue expanders placed at the time of surgery. I've had this redness/bruising the entire time. It does not get better or worse, only expands wth my breast. I've asked my dr and while he's an excellent dr, he's a man of very few words and just says "your still healing". What is this and is it permanent?
