I had a breast reduction about 2 weeks.my breast have been feeling very uncomfortable and itchy they’re very red and warm to the touch. Also a section in my left breast is completely numb so are my nipples.i went in for my 1 week check up, my plastic surgeon didn’t even see me, they had their assistant take me in and they said everything looks fine and that it’s normal for them to be like this. It doesn’t really look normal to me, I’m just worried that there could be an infection or something?
