Hello again today is my 10 day but I'm a little concern my left breast start getting a little red I don't know why I have been taking care of it very well, I'm on vacation until July 6 and I will see my doctor on July 7 he is also on vacation. I called his office Friday for him to call and he did an I noticed his phone call was from oversea I mention the blood clot around my nipple and he said it was normal nothing to worry but I forgot to mention the redness on my breast since I noticed this 2 days ago... Does anyone have had the same thing as me or can you tell me what should I do or it's something that I should worry? HELP I'm very nervous :-(

Justus, you are looking fantastic for being ten days out. The redness is normal and will come and go, depending on how your breasts continue to work through the various swelling and things that still remain. Remember: there will still be some swelling due to edema or possibly a hematoma that will be shifting in size and position; therefore, the redness is probably due to your body dealing with that. It is good that you are seeing your doctor and if you haven't yet uploaded your questions to the 'ask a doctor' section of this site, please do so. I have found them to be reliable, helpful and clear in their responses to my questions.

I forgot to ask you, is the redness around the areola also warm to the touch? If so, make sure you mention that in your message on the doctor site. You take care, babes!

Definitely post a question for the doctors here on real self with pictures. It will take a few days to get it approved and responded to, but worth it. Also, if your plastic surgeon had a nurse or physicians assistant call them and ask if you can email the pictures of your breast so they can make a recommendation. Good luck and happy healing.
