Does this look like too much bruising? I am 3 days post-op and still have in drainage tubes on both sides. Concerned because some of the bruising seems raised/puffy. Light green/blue bruising throughout chest plate (cleavage area). I'll head back to my board certified plastic surgeon soon - but a little panicked on the amount of bruising.
Answer: Bruising ? Thank you for your question and providing photos. The amount of bruising shown in the photos can be very normal. I would be concerned if that breast was significantly larger than the other. I think it is wise to follow up with your PS. Best of luck

Answer: Do I Have Too Much Bruising For 3 Days Post Breast Augmentation? Congratulations on having a breast augmentation. It appears your plastic surgeon did an excellent job.Some post operative bruising, usually at the bottom of the breast, is absolutely and completely normal. In my opinion, your bruising is minimal and should resolve in the next 2-3 weeks. Since you have no scar on the bottom of your breast and no apparent scar around the areola, I am going to assume that your breast augmentation was transaxillary. As such, any blood in the implant pocket tends to collect at the bottom of the breast. It takes awhile to get to the skin surface, and usually takes longer to resolve than bruising on the non-breast skin. If you are concerned, I highly recommend you speak to your personal plastic surgeon.
