Redness on breasts after breast augmentation that my doctor says is stretched skin. Can you provide a second opinion? (photo)

Asked By:somerset123 in Ontario, CA

I am 5 weeks post op with 345 CC silicone gel implants over the muscle I’ve notice the last few weeks both my breasts around the Nipple and on the breast skin (my incision was under the crease of the breast) are very red. There’s no pain, no itchiness or any other symptoms just the persistent redness of the skin. My doctor suggested it could be from the stretching of the skin. Wanted a second opinion
