Asked By:Jfelton

I advised dr my nipple was dark looking while in hospital post OP and he advised it was no big deal. The next day it was completely black and my breast was swollen with blood oozing from behind the nipple and out of stiched and he still said it will be fine. 4 days later he removed my areola and nipple and left me like this with only wet dry would reassigns until the wound declares itself ( which I have no idea what this means) how common is this and how to fix
