Asked By:Njaimez

I'm 10 weeks post of a breast lift and implants. I noticed my breast are red and warm on the bottom side. Under the areola. Is this an infection? I don't have a fever or pain. Please advise. I've attached two photos you really can't see it that well. I'm concerned because it wasn't like this before. It started three days ago.
