Purple colour of breasts after reduction: 3 months post op and have been signed off by consultant. (Photo)

Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure.  Always best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon for specific assessment and advice. Having said that, the pink hue you noticed is commonly seen after breast reduction and lifting.   This coloration is likely related to vascular changes that occur when flaps are developed during the procedures.   I have seen this coloration confused for signs of infection. I agree that the coloration tends to fade over time.  In my practice, I do advise the use of silicone gel strips during the first year. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with long-term.
