Chronic skin discoloration after breast reconstruction - advice?

May 12, 2022
Asked By:bblair0826

I'm 48, DCIS survivor, double mastectomy with reconstruction in 2015. Reconstruction revision in 2018 due to excessive wrinkling/puckering skin. I have fair skin and thin skin/tissue on breasts. I'm very active with jogging, weight lifting, some boxing. 3 yrs ago started having chronic red/purple discoloration and burning. Dr. said not IBC. Plastic surgeon says scar tissue advised to do another revision surgery. Has anyone else experienced this? 3 recon surgery in 8 years sucks
