Does my bruising at almost 3 weeks post op need to be checked out ASAP? (Photo)

It is unusual for new bruising to appear two weeks after other bruising has resolved.  If you experience swelling of that breast or the bruising worsens, contact your surgeon to request an examination.

Swelling,  bruising, or discoloration can last for up to two weeks.  It is difficult to evaluate from one photo in this setting.  Seeing your PS Monday will be appropriate. He/she can determine if your concerns are justified. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  It is unusual to have bruising develope weeks after surgery and it would be wise to see your surgeon sooner than later for an evaluation.  You may have developed a hematoma that will require office or surgical room intervention.  Best wishes.
