I recommend you be at your normal level of 10 before you schedule your surgery. I suggest you consult with your hematologist and follow their recommendations before surgery.

Women have small glands under their areola called Montgomery glands that can get inflamed and possibly infected. I doubt this has any relationship with your surgery unless you’ve had your surgery performed via a periareolar approach. Speak to your Plastic Surgeon, who may advise antibiotics and seeing a breast surgeon.

The photo indicates that you’ve undergone an augmentation/mastopexy, not a simple augmentation. Usually this procedure requires significant skin undermining, which is associated with skin swelling (edema) after surgery. Any compression (brassiere) on top of that will cause ripples. This should resolve by 6 weeks. If concerned, see your plastic surgeon.
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
The photo shows that you might have a postoperative seroma on the left, especially if you had a textured implant placed. I would recommend a simple ultrasound to rule that out. If the ultrasound shows a seroma, then please discuss this matter with your plastic surgeon.
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
It looks on the photo like you have a post operative seroma which should be aspirated. The redness may be a result of skin irritation from your compression binder. You should follow your surgeon's recommendations regarding antibiotics. I'd recommend contacting their office about how to proceed.

Damage to the intercostobrachial cutaneous nerve can cause radiating/numb upper inner arm pain. Capsular contracture, in continuity with the nerve, could also be exacerbating your symptoms. This is something you should discuss with your plastic surgeon.

Do avoid any active use of your pecs the 1st week after surgery. If you had a submuscular augmentation, you will have pain in your pecs for the 1st week, soreness in the chest for the 2nd week, but after that your muscle should have recovered. Regardless it takes 6 weeks to heal from your surgery, so be patient and follow your plastic surgeon's recommendations. If you are concerned about the feeling of pain and bad sensations in your breast, you should call your surgeon for advice.

Dr LaTrenta was a pleasure to work with. I had to get something removed on a tricky area of my body and I really didn’t want to be left with a big ugly scar. I’m SO happy with how it looks, it’s completely flat and healing better then I could have expected.
It is with great pleasure that I write a reference for Dr. Gregory LaTrenta. During the height of the pandemic in NYC, I was faced with a medical emergency requiring surgery. My surgeon at the time recommended that I use a plastic surgeon for closure of the incision site which was extensive. I asked him to find me the best plastic surgeon he could find as the area was very sensitive for a variety of reasons. Thankfully, he referred me to Dr. LaTrenta for plastic reconstructive surgery. The care I received from Dr. LaTrenta was extraordinary. He took much time in making sure the results I would receive were optimal. After my original surgeon saw the work that Dr. LaTrenta performed, he told me “my god Dr. LaTrenta is a magician.” I would agree that Dr. LaTrenta is an extremely skilled plastic surgeon with many years of experience. He is an artist with truly magic hands. Dr. LaTrenta’s staff is also of the highest quality. His staff have been so accommodating and helpful all along the way, helping me with recovery as well as assisting with insurance issues. Dr. LaTrenta’s facilities both in NYC and Connecticut are impeccable- extremely clean and well appointed. Dr. LaTrenta and his staff receive my highest recommendation.
Dr. LaTrenta and every person in his practice have been indispensable these last few months. From carefully planning and tailoring each aspect of surgery, to ensuring an optimal outcome throughout after-care, they seamlessly and confidently navigated through each step.There was never any doubt that safety and excellence was their priority, which is especially important in the last few months. Everyone around him has the strongest knowledge, and an elegant, effortless bedside manner. Every email answered, every question carefully and patiently explained, every client the most important. The offices and surgeries are second to none, like being in a meditative spa. Treatment: Breast explant and lift, Tummy tuck revision. The outcome is absolutely stunning. Dr. LaTrenta is an artist.
LOVE! I can't imagine using any other plastic surgeon. I did a breast reduction with him and a tummy tuck and he is truly masterful. There is the technical medical side and there's the artistry of the surgery. He has an incredible eye and has re-sculpted my body naturally and restored a youthful look I never thought I'd have again. And his staff makes it so comfortable and even fun. I feel like they've gone on this journey with me. I trust them completely.
I visited Dr. LaTrenta to discuss with him my breast reconstruction revision after a previous revision that has caused me debilitating pain and compromised appearance. Dr. LaTrenta was highly recommended by a former patient with similar issues to mine who was able to find relief and reclaim her life through the revision the doctor performed. Dr. LaTrenta and his staff are welcoming and very respectful. The doctor was able to understand my concerns fast. He proposed honest realistic options, highlighting the respective pros and cons. He is knowledgable, calm, thorough, and a pleasure to meet with. He performs surgery in his practice, as well as in one of the city hospitals.
Dr. LaTrenta is a skillful artist and surgeon. He is such a kind and wonderful man. I am so happy to have found him. He repaired a damaged breast surgery and did an impeccable job, very grateful for him.
Dr Latrenta is professional and compassionate. He will make you feel relaxed and confident with your choice of procedure. With his calm voice and experience and knowledge, I knew I made the right choice in having him do my eye surgery
If Dr. LaTrenta & his team are involved in helping your face match your young spirit &"Pilates body,"- go for it! Seeing a "good"outside positively affected my inside. The entire staff is amazing & is led by one of the most caring & competent doctors I've ever met. This man is a gift. My awful jowls are gone, my neck and mouth lines look like they did 10 years ago- I look and feel like I came back from vacation. No black and blue, I did not take pain killers & started work in 2 weeks!
I had my breasts done by doctor LaTrenta and I could not be any happier! His work is second to none!!! My breasts look and feel natural. My scars are barely noticeable. I healed up beautifully!! Please do your homework when looking for a doctor. There are many doctors out there and it can become perplex when choosing the right doctor. I was referred to 3 different physicians and I am glad I chose Dr. LaTrenta. I knew right away that he was the one I was going with!!! The office staff is great. They answered my questions and made me feel comfortable before and after surgery. I will be having my abdomen done in the Winter and I cannot wait!! Dr. LaTrenta is the best!!!
Dr. LaTrenta changed my life. He is a truly talented and gifted surgeon. I can't say enough about what an amazing surgeon he is. After a botched breast augmentation, I was insanely nervous about my revision. A good friend of mine gave me Dr. LaTrenta's number and told me to look no further. I can't even tell you how glad I am that I listened to her! I came to him with the wrong size/shape implants, which were in the wrong place, asymmetrical and totally rippled. Other plastic surgeons I consulted with told me that I'd never get a great result because of the damage done by my original surgeon. But Dr LaTrenta said he could absolutely give me a great result. And a great result is exactly what he got me. I don't just look good, I look amazing. My results exceeded all my expectations and then some. I look completely natural. His staff is second to none. His surgical suite is pristine. This man is a genius and an artist and I can not recommend him enough. The fact that he is an honest, compassionate and kind person is just a bonus. Go to him for his tremendous skill as a surgeon. He is simply the best.
