Burning sensation and discomfort 14 months after breast augmentation. Is this normal this far out?

Asked By:Wouter123 in Gagh, Northern Cape, South Africa
I am 44 years of age. My weight is 56 kg and height is 1,59cm. My skintone is very light. I had my breast augmentation 14 months ago in October 2021.

Dear michellecanete,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
