Asked By:EdmG in Edmonton, AB

I am just about 9 weeks post op from a silicone submuscular implant. Since about weeks 3, my breast have been extremely dry. Not so much the nipples, they seem fine. But the skin on the breasts, especially the sides, its super dry and flakey. I can see skin flakes in my clothing when I undress. I try to gently exfoliate and lotion them everyday. I have never had this issue before surgery. Is this normal?
