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.

Answer: See Your Plastic Surgeon In patients with redness of the breasts following implants, infection is always a concern. It is possible that it can be treated with oral or IV antibiotics in the hospital. Sometimes the implants need to be removed and drains are required. Your plastic surgeon should be available 24/7 for these concerns and you should let him or her know asap.

Answer: 10 weeks post op/ breast lift and implants. Red and warm breast. Infection? (Photo) I'm sure you have seen your surgeon by this point. If you are experiencing any type of warm redness that suddenly appears, it is a good idea to go see your surgeon just so risks such as infection can be ruled out. ac
