Early stage of necrosis? (Photo)

It appears that you have some epidermlolysis going on. As long as the process does not go deeper, this should resolve without a trace. You should follow up with your surgeon as they may prescribe an ointment to help with the healing. Good luck!

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well... I have to say that you're still on healing process, also and besides that you have to know that skin necrosis can cause serious complications after it's developed, please contact your surgeon to check your nipples.I recommend you to have oxygen treatments to help you with this condition. Hugs!

From your photos it appears that you have some decreased blood supply to the nipple areola complexes as they appear dark in color. They do not, however, appear necrotic. You will likely see some blistering and then healing during the coming weeks. I generally prescribe silvadene applied topically, but I would defer to your plastic surgeon's recommended treatment. If you do experience some tissue loss the best cosmetic result is achieved by allowing the areas to heal on their own.In terms of sensation, it is not uncommon to experience sensory changes (decreased or increased) after breast surgery. The sensory nerves are stretched by the addition of an implant and it takes time for the body to accommodate these changes. Most of the time sensation will return to normal, but sometimes it does not.Best wishes, Dr. Meghan Nadeau, Seattle, WA

It appears that you have had some decrease of blood supply to your nipples/areolas. It appears that you will likely at least blister, then heal or maybe even lose a bit of tissue which would also heal. There is not really any intervention/treatment at this point that would change its course. Be patient, follow your surgeon's instructions and with time all should be well.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this is a potential complication with breast lifts and implants. The nipple areola complex is put under a lot of stress with its movement - and the blood supply can be compromised with the placement of an implant. Your entire areola is slightly purple with the most obvious discoloration at the nipple itself. You likely will have some nipple slough as this heals. This means that this area may blister or flake off. In a sense, it is necrosis - because some of the superficial skin is dying. How this affects the overall healing, however, is difficult to say. Sometimes when this skin sloughs off, there is nice new skin underneath; other times, there can be pigment loss and texture loss. Your best bet is to have close follow-up with your plastic surgeon, and to see how things evolve as you are healing. Topical creams like silvadene or bacitracin can help to keep the area moist, and ensure that there is no infection as things heal up. If worst comes to worst - and again, I am not entirely sure this will at all be your scenario - the nipple areola complex can be tatooed and look extremely natural (in some cases even better than your native tissue!). As far as the sensation - it's way too soon to tell. A lot of nerves are cut to move the breast tissue, and it will take up to a full year before you know if you'll regain sensation again. Best of luck, follow-up with your Plastic Surgeon, and avoid things like smoking (which can compromise microvasculature and blood flow to tissues).
