Should I be worried if one breast is hard in places and warm to the touch after Breast Reduction? (photos)

Ammo2014Feb 22, 2014
Had a br 12 days ago. The left side was "fuller" right away but now it seems to be more tender, warm to the touch and hard in a area or two. It does not seem to appear to be getting bigger but the warmth worries me and the "harder" areas I had implants before, the left one broke so I opted for both to be removed then have a BR. I have been getting headaches and some hot flushes /chills no temp though so far. Thank you

Riding a horse at 6 weeks should be just fine.  Be sure to wear ar least one good supportive bra.  Over the next number of months your implants will settle some no matter what yu do.  Gravity is gravity.  Enjoy yourself.
