Question

I'm 26 days post OP and under the right breast is getting very red, is this normal? Should I put anything on it? Like Vaseline?

John D. Smoot, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question but it is hard to tell exactly what is happening to your incisions.  I would recommend you follow up with your surgeon who can guide you better on what will work and what won't.  I would not put anything on your scar your surgeon has not recommended especially Vaseline.  You appear to be doing quite well and you are early in your recovery and I would recommend patience at this point.
