Breasts turning green after augmentation and nipple colouring. What's causing it?

March 19, 2016
Asked By:athamantis in Russia, RU

I am confused that my fiances whole breasts have taken on a green colouration. The doctors believed that she had asked for her nipples to be green! and that chemical spread and started to kill the skin of the whole breast. This is certainly not true, her nipples were brown. Can the nipple pigment spread like this, would it change colour and would this kill breast skin? Or could this only be due to her hypovolemia and thinned breast skin, green indicating the earliest stage of necrosis?
