Skin above cleavage oily and breaking out for months after breast implants. Is it related to surgery?

November 7, 2014
Asked By:OliviaQ in Gainesville, FL

I had breast implant replacement surgery 3 months ago. Shortly after surgery, I had a capsular contracture on one side which resulted in a second surgery (capsulectomy) 7 weeks ago for that. Things seem to be going well now, but the skin on my chest (above cleavage) has been extremely oily, shiny and constantly broken out. I never had this issue prior to the surgery. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be from the surgery?
