The bruising that you display in the photograph you sent to RealSelf is not massive. On the other hand, any bruising indicates blood having been around your implant, and blood around the implant can be one of the major causes for implants getting hard (capsular contracture).If you were my patient, I would recommend DMSO as this liquid can open choke vessels, therefore increasing the number of white blood cells to go in and remove the free heme in your tissue. Also, post operative ultrasound (the kind physical therapists use for sore muscles) can decrease the amount of new collagen deposited around a breast implant, therefore once again decreasing the chance of a capsular contracture. Finally, the use of Accolate prophylactically has also been shown to decrease the chance of a capsular contracture. As for your bruising, I would suggest you discuss it with your Board Certified plastic surgeon and ask what his or her recommendations would be.
