Hi there, I had a Maxopexy & Breast Augmentation on Tuesday the 1 Dec 2015. In Surgery for 3 hours, a lot of excess skin. Everything is going fanatic post op. I have very little pain. Last night I checked my nipples and my left nipple is purple. The right one is a light pink. I panicked. I saw my surgeon this morning & he says the flow is still great in the nipple. He says it is bruising. I had my drains removed & dressing cleaned. Now i see him in a week. Pls help,am I losing my nipple?
