I quickly ran this scenario past the breast surgeon I was working with
today, and she said that two other possibilities to consider are if the
patient is *VERY* fair-skinned this might be a variation of normal, or maybe
she's having some kind of reaction to the suture material that was used... 
but infection would certainly be her first guess.
