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

Newgirls19Jan 7, 2016
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!
