Answer: Redness Hi There! Thank you for your question. I would recommend that you schedule a follow up with your plastic surgeon. Any time we see redness and skin that is warm to the touch our first concern would be infection and you should be seen in person to rule that out!

Answer: Pain and feeling the implant Hello, thank you for your question. How long ago did you have your implants placed, your scars look older. Is it unilateral redness? If this is a sudden onset, we will need to rule out infection, possible infected cyst. Difficult to say judging by the photo. If the redness and pain become worse, you will need to go to an urgent care or see your family doctor. Once infection is ruled out and this persists than we can come up with other possibilities. Good luck

Answer: Please call your surgeon ASAP Hi seemyc5go, Please call your surgeon as soon as possible. The warmth and redness are concerning for infection--this can be an issue if you recently had surgery, or if you had surgery a long time ago. Please call your surgeon to discuss right away.
