It's been over 2 weeks since my breast augmentation. Couple days ago I started noticing dandruff in my post op bra. And the skin around my areola's have dry flaky skin coming off. Is this normal?

Answer: Dry flaking skins after breast augmentation

Whoa! Hold on there. Give yourself and your chest a little time. It takes time for tissues to heal and settle and it also takes time to adjust mentally to anything new with the body be it larger breasts, smaller breasts, perkier breasts, a flat abdomen, a lifted face, etc...
Though I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon, I wouldn't worry about the indent for several reasons:
Overall, you have a beautiful result. (This is the most important reason.)You are not completely healed. It's amazing how many of these little indents take care of themselves with time...
Sadly, there is no pill, cream, lotion or exercise that will naturally increase breast volume. Save your money. If you want larger breasts, you will need an implant.My best,
