What are those white spots? Why did they appear? (photos)

It's 2 months after I had my BA done and a couple of days ago I notice some white spots under my breasts. They kind of move or change in intensity, sometimes they look more noticeable and some I can barely tell the difference in skin tone. I didn't have this before surgery but I'm not sure if it's got anything to do with that. I hope someone can help me better understand what they are and why they appeared. Thanks!

Hi Michelle. It is true that implants placed on top of the muscle are more likely to deliver a round and full upper pole. However, implant placement is not the only key factor. Selecting an implant with a high profile (the amount it projects form the chest wall) will also produce upper pole...

Some clear odorless drainage with out redness, swelling and fever probably is some serum that is leaking out or dissolving stitches just under the skin. They are common symptoms of recovery following a procedure. Three weeks post-op, these signs are normal. If you are concerned about it, keep...

You should discuss your limits with your plastic surgeon. It is important that you not engage in strenuous activities in the first 6 weeks after surgery. Aerobic exercise will raise your bloodpressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result. If your job keeps you sedentary,...
