Rash developed on breasts after augmentation? (Photo)

homa2Jan 4, 2017
I have developed a rash on both of my breaths after a BA. I am 3 weeks post op. I suffer from eczema and have dry skin. The rash is itchy and the skin is peeling, almost like it does when you have sunburn. Why could this be?

At 6 weeks postop, you are still relatively early on in your recovery. Things tend to even out over time as swelling subsides and the tissues soften. Follow up with your surgeon so that they may provide re assurance and oversee scar management as well as breast massage.
