Is it normal for my breasts to feel so warm/hot compared to the rest of my body? (Photo)

chortiJun 20, 2015
I know it has only been a week and half since my surgery, but I had a breast reduction for pain in my back and pain in my collar bone from the weight. I was a 30HH and asked to brought down to a "D" cup. Also my doctor has told me not to massage or wear a bra until 3 weeks post op. The warmer areas tend to be nearest the incisions. I am concerned that I should be wearing a bra or massaging the breasts.
