Hyperpigmentation after breast surgery? (Photo)

January 2, 2016
Asked By:phantomhera in Canada, KY

I had a breast augmentation 8 months ago and for a while have noticed a patch of flat, light-brown freckle like marks on the inner side of both breasts. The left breast's patch is much less noticable. Does not itch or hurt, feels regular when I touch it, except a bit dry. Looks like age spots almost but I'm 23!
