Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Discoloration In The Areola

its been 6 weeks since I had a breast lift (lillipop scar) and augmentation and now I ve noticed my left areola has changed color to a very light gray/green color. The areola is numb but my nipple is not. I m a nurse so I ve done the obvious with checking blood return but with how pale it is it s difficult to see but it will blanch and quickly return to it s color. My nipples will respond to stimuli but appear very soft and flattened out which is not how they were before augmentation. My only concern is the color of the areola because it changed drastically being post of 6 weeks. Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Thanks

dear Ms, I understand your concerns but the change of aerola is a warning sign that there might be a tumor mass . I recommend that you get a mammogram scan as soon as possible
