I had a breast reduction 1/13 and have been healing pretty well since. I am now feeling chapped on the outsides of my breasts. Is this normal?
It is normal to experience dry skin after surgery. The prep solutions used to clean the skin are very drying, and the post-op period during which you could not wash your breasts adds to a build up of dry keratin. If you are all healed and your sutures are out, I recommend a good moisturizing lotion after bathing and before bed. I like Elta Lite, and Beta Glucan 3000, if these are available where you live.
