Could purple veins be impaired blood flow due to the ruptured implant I had then? (Photos)

Asked By:PIPsqueak121 in Spalding, H7

Hi, approx. 2-3 years after implant I noticed ugly purple veins creeping along the underside of my breasts. I had implants (PIP) in 2008 and had many problems healing, infection, etc. These awful looking creepers are around the scars and also in the region of a strawberry mark I've developed in the the last few years!?! My go said it was normal spider veins? Could it be impaired blood flow due to the ruptured implant I had then? Please tell me what could have caused them and what can be done?
