Just wondering if I’m panicking over nothing or not…. Had a bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction 5 days ago, and noticed today my left nipple is a purple colour and is cold… anyone else experienced this or know what I can do? I’m seeing the BCN tomorrow & keeping it warm with a hot water bottle for now!! Could it just be bruising?
