Is this a hematoma or normal bruising?
breast lift

I am 2 days post op from having old 575 cc 12 yr old saline implants removed, got a lift and 450 cc silicone replacements. Above the muscle, same pocket. I noticed yesterday a dark purple spot near my incision and today it is a bit bigger and now more reddish bruises are popping up along the incisions. I have a post op appt Monday, but I am stressing myself out over it. I keep wanting to touch it. Is this a hematoma or normal bruising?

I wonder why this site popped up so often in my research?.. Doesn't seem to be very helpful.. Good thing I'm seeing my PS tomorrow.. I was just looking for a little confirmation, or more preferably peace of mind until then. Oh well. I'm sure the other site like this will be more active.
