Why am I getting acne two weeks post op mommy makeover?

April 10, 2015
Asked By:MommaCHAZ in Chicago, IL

I had breast aug and TT two weeks ago and for the last couple days I've started breaking out with painful zits on my cheeks! Can this be a hormonal imbalance or something due to the surgery, stress, or antibiotics I took? Finished those a couple of days ago and I am not getting period nor have I ever broken out like this since pregnancy! Yuck! Thank you.
