Question

Hello, Please can anyone tell me as I am 4 years post breast implant, 24 years old. I have suddenly spotted a tiny red spot on my breast but it cause no pain at all when touched and feels flat on chest

Alan Gonzalez, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello @munirah97x Is not possible to make an assessment with a photo, I suggest you consult with a dermatologist or if you think is due to the breast augmentation you had 4 years ago have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, but is unlikely. Best wishes!

Brian K. Reedy, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question! That is probably entirely unrelated to the implants. While it is likely benign, I would get checked by a dermatologist to be safe. Good luck!

Good morning,
It is probably nothing at all but it is impossible to tell from this photo- if it is concerning then perhaps a trip to the dermatologist would give you the answers you seek!

It is impossible to evaluate nature of this lesion based on this photo. In person consultation with your PS would help. Most likely benign lesion of vascular origin. Good luck.

Thank you for the question. I would encourage you to visit your surgeon for an in-person examination. I wish you the best of luck. VasileiosVasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Dear munirah97x,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Your photo is not clear enough to tell what this is. I would suggest meeting with your family doctor and being examined.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It's not possible to diagnose the red spot from a photo.  Though it is likely benign, it is best to visit with a dermatologist for an examination.

Brian Widenhouse, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. Based on the photo, it is difficult to say what is the cause of the red spot on your breast. It seems unlikely that it is related to your breast augmentation 4 years ago. If you are concerned, please call your plastic surgeon to schedule a follow up visit.
Best of luck!
