Is it normal for my breasts to be hot to the touch 2 weeks post op from breast reduction/lift?

Question

Emmanuel Mallol Cotes, MD · Answer

Thanks for the question. Its early to talk about results. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure. No, it is not necessarily "normal";  on the contrary, the sensation of "heat" may be a sign of infection. Therefore, best to address this concern with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Inflammation can bring some heat in the area, but it is not normal that feeling persists much longer. You should consult your PS and let him/ her know of this fact.
