Breasts Warm To Touch 2 Weeks Post-Op- Normal?

It’s important to understand that it’s still early in the
post-operative course and your breasts will undergo significant changes with
the passage of time.During the healing
process, blood flow to the breasts increases and this may account for the
sensation of warmth.In addition,
swelling and muscle spasm can result in breast implants being superiorly
positioned.All of
these problems resolve with time.It’s
therefore, too early to make aesthetic judgements about your result.Nevertheless, if you’re concerned about your
progress, you should consult your plastic surgeon.

You are still early on in your recovery. During this time, your body is repairing itself and that's probably why your breasts feel warm. Your breasts are still sitting high since they haven't "dropped and fluffed".If you have any concerns, please talk to your surgeon. Best of luck.

Nadia, these are all good questions, but what I worry about is why you need the answers to your question by surgeons other than the one who performed your procedure. 

To be clear, what I mean, is that these and many other issues concerning breast augmentation surgery should have been clearly and fully discussed with you by your surgeon before surgery.  I spend so much time going over what to expect after surgery, including what is normal and what is abnormal.  Also, sizing is so important when planning to undergo breast augmentation that, at my practice, we spend time at each of your pre operative appointments to try on different sized implants in order to make sure we are all on the same page and there is no room for error.  Did you have these discussions with your surgeon?

Nevertheless, to help answer your questions now I would still refer you to your surgeon, whom you should be seeing on a regular basis:

1. Your breast do not appear to be infected from the picture you posted.  Temperature changes in the skin is an inacurrate way to determine if there is a possible infection.

2. The breasts are swollen so soon after surgery and it will take a while for the implants to drop into a better position and the shape of your breasts to improve.  This is normal and supportive garments and massage are the best things to do at this time.

3.  The size is a personal decision, but at this time, it is better to wait for everything to heal and settle into final position before making any major decisions or changes.

Hope this helps you feel better.

Thank
you for the question. You are still in
the post operation recovery stage. It is
not uncommon to feel pain, itchiness, and swelling during this
period. It usually takes about 8-12
weeks for the wounds to heal and around 4-6 months for the implants to fully
settle. It would be best to visit your
board-certified plastic surgeon and get a full assessment for your concern. Best of luck. Dr. Michael Omidi.









An
in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess
your needs and provide true medical advice.

You are very early in the healing process. When the implants are placed underneath the muscle layer it takes a few months for the muscles to relax and allow the implants to settle into the lower part of the breast. In addition to that still have some postoperative swelling that will subside in time. As long as you do not have unusual redness surrounding your incisions and no unusual drainage it is very likely that you do not have an infection. The healing process following any operation demands and increased amount of blood flow to the area. Very likely you will have a satisfactory result. Good luck
