Breasts Feel Swollen and Painful and Liposuction

After 6 months of doing lipo breast surgery, it feels swollen and is very painful when touched. I consulted my doctor and he recommended antibiotics in case of infection but the pain is still there after 2 weeks. Is this a more serious problem?

Liposuction of the breasts

Liposuction of the breasts, to induce a breast lift, is not the same as a surgical mastopexy but can not be called non-surgical breast lift. It is surgery but with a cannula, just not a knife. Trauma is induced and inflammation occurs. Scarring, or the production of collagen, occurs and this may create changes in the subcutaneous tissues of the breasts. Might there be an increased risk of fibrocystic breast changes after such surgery? Could fluid-filled breasts be the cause of this... more
