Boobdreams Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Please girls, I know I ask a lot of questions and tend to jump to conclusions but I'm actually the most worried now then I've been this whole time. I have a black spot that appears to be under my skin in the vertical incision line from my breast lift. What could it be? It doesn't appear to be open or anything. christyvid and Ronicka 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donatella Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Black indicates necrosis which is tissue death. Are you sure it's not pen markings? A photo would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobdreams Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Here is a photo, it's definitely not pen as I tried washing it off with saline and a cotton bud. What can I do to get blood flow there? Rubbing the area? I have emailed my surgeon but not hopeful for a response given what others have said on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donatella Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 It looks like dried blood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobdreams Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Is that normal to be underneath the skin like that? It was lighter and less yesterday, it's definitely darkened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donatella Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's really hard to know, wait to see what your surgeon says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobdreams Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 My hopes are up so high now. I've made an appointmrnt with a local doctor here now too although they wouldn't touch my stitches and sent me to hospital so I don't know if they'll even check. Crazy that no one wants to have anything to do with overseas surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donatella Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's very sad but true, perhaps lie and say interstate so as not to get bias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobdreams Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I did just that and the doctor seemed to think it looks like a dissolvable suture under my skin and said not to worry.. But I didn't think the sutures under the skin were blue guess I'll keep waiting for the surgeons reply. AspiretoInspire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani666 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 It looks like a suture to me, or as Donatella said, a little pocket of dried blood. I had one that looked the same and then a little pokie bit came out and i removed the suture (but I am a nurse remember, so dont do it without a medical degree!). They usually use two types of coloured sutures, blue and black. If the area spreads or grows at all, head straight in to see someone about it as that could indicate something else. Your post was 4 days ago, what does it look like now? btw...the surrounding scaring looks incredible! has your anxiety settled now? you had people worried!

Boobdreams Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 It still looks the same as in the picture. I'm wondering if im wearing my scar fx too early (3weeks post). I wasn't given micropore not sure if the silicon is bad as it sweats? Yes I'm fine now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username24 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hello! I know it’s been years since anyone has posted in this conversation but I was just wondering if the black dot under breast incision is normal? Did it end up going away or did it have to be treated? I have a similar problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
