Bradley4712Jul 1, 2018
I recently had a breast lift and implants. (1 week post op) my left breast the skin is incredibly sensitive and has a few little bumps( possible heat rash?). I am terrified It is shingles! Is It normal to get the skin sensitivity/ burning like sensation (like how someone with the onset of shingles) after having surgery?

Hello there I've been using the Motiva implants for about 18 months now and have been very pleased with them .The Ergonomix has a very soft feel to it and moves with the breast for a very realistic result .I think you will like them .CheersTS

In most patients the 330 cc breast implants should increase you by 2 cup sizes. Your early in recovery and over the next 6-8 weeks your implants should have a much bigger effect on your breasts.  Of course express your concerns to your surgeon.

Many thanks for your question and congratulations on your baby. In order to confidently diagnose the problem with your right breast it would need to be examined. I would therefore advise you to consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon. I wish you luck.
