Rash and facial flushing 1 day post-op? (Photo)

Caligirl28Dec 8, 2016

I just had breast augmentation yesterday. I woke up from a nap to the top area of my breasts being itchy, red and warm. My cheeks are flushed as well, but I do not have a fever. Is this normal?

Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 3-4 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.

At 12 days post-op, your body is still healing, and changes in sensation are quite normal at this stage. You likely still notice some swelling and tenderness in the area, meaning that your current breast appearance is not fully indicative of the final results you can expect to see once fully...
