What is going on? Popped blood vessels on breast

Question

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

Difficult to say without a proper exam but I would say it is either the skin reacting and stretching from having larger implants put pressure on it which would resolve over time (a vascular issue) or you could have cellulitis like the emergency room doctor states.Either way I would follow up with your plastic surgeon and be evaluated rather soon if not urgently.Hope that helps.

could be developing due to the immense stretch on your skin.  If infection has been ruled out and there are no dermatological disorders that are obvious, I would speculate you hare going to have a lot of stretch marks.
