Asked By:alexaa88 in London, GB

Hi, I’ve recently had breast augmentation surgery 335cc over the muslce 8 days ago. I wasn’t in that much pain, but this morning i woke up with one side really stinging at the area of the stitches. The other side is fine, and barely hurts. This stinging sensation has been around all day, I had a shower and gently washed it with non-fragrant soap but noticed a white spot, towards the inner chest where it burns the most.. should I be worried? Thank you in advanced for getting back to me !
