Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the black discoloration and blisters on breast following surgery of breast lift do indicate matter of concern as

- infection with gram positive bug as Staph aureus, epidermidis
- compression through compression sleeve if given for arm support
- altered blood sugar
- wound infection.

* It is mandatory to get

- immediate consult with your surgeon
- sterile dressing
- if required surgical debridement
- culture of pus or blister fluid for antibiotic assistance

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
