Do you normally bruise like that? Personally, I'd be concerned if I looked like that after surgery, I'm not sure that amount of bruising is normal.

Fullon my bruising got worse before better. Not nearly as bad as yours but it look a few weeks ( actually it has just now gone away completely)
I bruise very easily because my liver enzymes were really high. (i have nash) which leads to easy bruising.
Some people are just like that. I hope that it all clears up soon!

Hi to StephC, I don't know about anyone else. I shared a room with a young woman but have had no contact with her since.
HarleyNana, I am concerned, but I am seeing the surgeon on Sunday. We are 41/2 hours away from each other by road, one way! o I see him for the first time in 3 days. Will show him photo as they are fading daily.
Big Girl Banded- As far as I know I am healthy. I do bruise but not badly, I don't think! Usually. But they made for a great talking point when I returned to work yesterday!!!
Thanks to all for your concen.

You guys make my surgeon look like a butcher. My scar is so thick. It's been a year and a half and it's huge, raised, red and ugly

This procedure gave me something I couldn't get from anything else I tried or did.
It gave me hope.

I am VARY fair skinned and bruise over everything, but had no bruising from surgery. You can see my scar picture from 1 week out at the top of page 16. I hope it is nothing and you heal quickly, but I would call just to be safe.

Hi All,
Here is my 1 day post-op pic, I do have two other incisions, one in my belly button and one under my boob.
I think they look great so far.

Thanks for your concern. I'm doing really well. I saw my surgeon on Sunday last. He wasn't concerned about the bruising. Didn't actually get into discussing them. They are slowly fading. Only the center one is still quite coloured.:) Quote:
