Hi, I have posted before, but I just wanted to ask a question, I had a mastectomy on feb15th my scar is healing nicely but the skin around is still bruised is this natural.
thank you
Hi Patricia,
I had a right side masectomy with immediate silicone implant on Feb 22nd. My scars have all healed well, I still have a very very small visible bruise. However I feel bruised if I touch myself. My surgeon told me on Tuesday that this is completely normal so I would imagine you have nothing to worry about. If its something that's playing on your mind though maybe you could call and ask your BCN or someone to reassure yourself?
