Chest/breast rash after breast augmentation - is this normal? (photos)

Question

I recently had a breast augmentation(7month ago) i have had a difficult recovery as i had a hemotoma that had to be surgically removed. Im finally feeling back to “normal” but ive noticed this rash on my chest. I did always get some acne/hormal acne on my chest but i don’t remember if it ever was this much. I just wanted to get some opinions on this. Since I didn’t have a smooth recovery initially everything freaks me out.

Rashes can be caused by various factors, such as allergies, irritation, or infections. Given your recent breast augmentation and previous complications, it’s crucial to consult with your surgeon.

Best of luck !

The rash you have developed can be from numerous factors.  I encourage you to return to your surgeon or a dermatologist for an evaluation.  She/He will advise the best way for you to proceed.

Acne, breakouts, or having a skin rash is not typical after breast augmentation, but it sounds like it is not a typical for you.
I suggest making an appointment with the dermatologist regarding both acne, and the rash if you want to consider treatment.
Best,
