Is it common to have back chest and shoulder acne after a breast augmentation ?

April 16, 2015
Asked By:Cutegal160 in Nj

Recently have had a breakout all over my chest and back and shoulders of acne and I don't know why.. I do have sensitive skin I am prone to acne but never this much on my back and shoulders ? Could it be my immune system being down after surgery? Is this common?
