Question

I noticed a spot under my right breast that looks very red. The little veins seems to be standing out and there is a big white spot in the middle of it. I'm very numb so I can't feel if there's something in there. Should I be calling my plastic surgeon about this?

Although this is probably normal- i would consult with the Dr who performed the surgery. I always expect my patients to ask me first and not ask others who dont know you- especially with photos sent are not ideal. I suggest having your surgeon answer this question

Thanks for your question and the photo. I don't see anything worrisome in your picture. Given your early recovery time, this all looks within normal limits. Hang in there!

At just a few days post-op the photo showed what looks like normal healing. If there are concerns, an exam in person is always better.

Yes you need to be examined in person on Monday to be sure everything is OK. I doubt this is anything but always best to be sure...
