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

Magical669045Oct 17, 2023
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.

Most board certified plastic surgeons will have examples of their work for you to review. It would be atypical not to have examples of your work.

Hi there! It is possible that the implants you have are too heavy for your body which is what is causing the pain. This can be fixed with a correction procedure, in which the implant is placed under the muscle. Doing so, the implants will be properly placed, removing the pain you're experiencing.

Hello! In my opinion with breast implants you'll achieve your desired results, I don't believe a lifting is needed for your case. Hope this helps!

Breast augmentation is the #1 surgeries that involves the specific placement of a silicone or saline breast implant beneath or over the chest muscle to increase breast size.
