Feeling sooooo great. Almost 3 months since I had the breast reduction. I finally started exercising today! I am having a slight concern about discoloration around my nipple area. please let me know if this happened to anyone else. does the color return?

I don't know if the color will come back but the scars look pretty good. If your PS says that the color loss happens sometimes then maybe you could consider getting a tattoo. They do color matching tattoos for women with nipple color loss. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you though!

I have the same problem. I was an L cup prior to surgery last summer. It's been 6 months and the left side has had most of the color return but the right side has a large white and pink patch. It's pretty glaring because I am dark skinned. My doctor told me that if it isn't better after a year I will have to get a medical tattoo.

So I was able to have the drains removed last Friday. So far the healing process is going just fine. Patiently waiting for the stitches to come out so i can start my scar treatments. Thank God I still haven't had much pain at all. I've been able to get by on Motrin 800. Ive been getting really tired at times especially if I start to do a little to much. Hopefully that goes away soon.
