Incision area discolored. (Picture)



Recommended Posts

So i noticed one of my incisions the area around it is discolored. The rest are fine. Anyone have any info on their experience? No pain, no smell, nothing. My follow up is on Monday.

Looks normal (and fresh). My incisions turned yellowish green too. So long as there's no discharge, swelling or fever you're likely fine. Good to check with your doctor too. Here's what mine looked like one week post op.Screenshot_20220428-215518.jpg

In my opinion that actually looks pretty good. Ive seen some deep bruising on ppl after surgery but yours looks pretty good. Its healing so it will more than likely have different colors going on.

I think it’s just bruising too. They do a lot of pushing & prodding at those sites. They’ll continue to fade & have colour change. It looks like you’re healing well.

They look really good. No odd or unusual discoloration.

I actually sent the pictures to my surgeons PA thru a messaging app the hospital has last night and she responded this morning saying its fine. That only if its really red or really warm that its a cause for concern. Thanks everyone

Maybe it's the Dermabond glue highlighting the bruising and making it appear darker? I'm not sure, but it looks like a nicely healing incision to me.

That looks about the same as mine did. I think you are fine.
