In the shower the other day i saw some of the scabs where loose so i kinda helped them fall completely. This is how my nipples look like 2 weeks post op and im afraid the pink part might be a result of this. Thanks for the replies

Give it six months and you may have a hard time finding the scars.

Relax, they appear to be OK.

Slight depigmentation occurs on occasion, and generally, it will re-pigment over time.
