Follow-Up: Do I look normal for 2 weeks post op? 800cc under the muscle. (photo)

Question

Sometimes my right breast gets this (idk how else to describe it) tearing or like someone is rubbing sand paper inside my skin feeling! No extreme pain but it is bothersome. Breast doesn't hurt to the touch either. Do both breasts look "normal" for 10 days post op? What about my incision does it look infected ? The same right boob still has a bruise underneath it.

Hi mexxi26,
If you have any pain or discomfort two weeks after the breast surgery or if you suspect on infection then you should check it with your plastic surgeon. I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA

and you should be asking your surgeon if there is anything you can do to help accelerate the settling process.  I use straps and massage but not all surgeons agree with that BUT it works for me and my patients and it won't hurt you so nothing to lose in my opinion.  If you have acute changes in size or your wound breaks open or you have spreading redness, you must see your surgeon.

When you choose an implant, you need to appreciate that the ideal nipple position should be centered on your implant. Since your nipple is so low, you should have chosen either a smaller implant that would have been centered on your breast or chosen to have a lift which would have made you nipple centered on your breast. At this point, you can have a lift done once your breasts fall into place.
