Chad Robbins, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photo's .  It is early in recovery with regard to swelling at this time , they do look like dog ears at the base of your breasts.  I don't see that there's any infection , it is probably the tension which tends to make the skin appear slightly red.  Keep up with your follow up visits and give it a couple months for the swelling.

Christa Clark, MD, FACS · Answer

It looks like you have normal bunching at the end of a vertical incision and it may take 3 - 4 months for the swelling to go down and for the skin and tissue to retract and flatten out so it is not so 'puffy' there. I don't think it is infected either. Seeing your physician tomorrow will certainly put your mind at ease. So glad that you are happy with your shape. Good luck with everything!
