6 weeks into my breast augmentation, my nipples are burning and my scar is red and liquid is coming out of my areolas (Photo)

Question

I’ve been keeping it clean and I’m applying neosporing, it helped for a few days and now I’m back to 0! Is there any product that will help them heal faster? What can I do to calm the burning? Will they heal normal?

Scott W. Vann, MD, FACS · Answer

You need to see  your surgeon to get this evaluated. This looks like a allergic reaction maybe to the neosporin, which is very common. Or perhaps a wound infection. Either way you need to see your surgeon. Good luck.

Hi kloveblue,

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain following your surgery. It is not uncommon to experience pain a few weeks after breast augmentation surgery. However, it would be best that you visit your plastic surgeon for proper assessment and intervention to lessen your discomfort, as every surgeon has different approaches in pain management.

You should contact your surgeon as soon as possible for an evaluation.  You could have an infection and it should be addressed ASAP.
