I had my surgery on the 4th of January, saline over the muscle 725cc a month later my breasts start to turn pink, it's not coming from the incision and it doesn't cover the whole breast. It's a little tender and warm but no pain. I had the flu as well. I went to the ER for that and they told me I had cellulitis and gave doxycycline and Bactrim. I'm really worried I don't know why the redness won't go down or where it's coming from ( the implant or just the skin ). I appreciate your help
