This all fall in line with normal postoperative changes. If you are worried visit the surgeon for a follow up.

Dear Sincere781772,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Why are you crowdsourcing on Realself? You just had surgery and you should still have a solid connection with your surgeon, who is someone you should trust. You photos are not helpful, and you should really be examined. Make an appointment with your surgeon.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It's difficult to tell from the submitted photos but it appears what you are referring to are veins.  Sometimes after augmentation veins that weren't visible prior to surgery are pushed closer to the surface and become more obvious.  If you have further concerns visit with your surgeon.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Your photos are not clear. Please resubmit better photos or, better yet, go back to your surgeon to be checked.

We can’t really make a quality assessment based on the information provided.
If this bothers you enough to have a follow up visit with your provider then I suggest you do so.
Best,
