There is an itchy rash and it is also a bit discolored. I'm 2 weeks post-op.
Answer: Dryness of areola Dryness of the areola is not uncommon after surgery. You have to apply a moisturising cream - we use a healing serum at my clinic to improve the quality of the skin. You may also benefit from the use of the '111SKIN Y Theorem Repair Serum' which is essentially a very similar product but available for customer purchase.

Answer: Dry Areola following Breast Surgery It is quite common for patients to experience dry skin following surgery. Some surgical preoperative washes are antiseptic and strip the skin of any possible topical materials that can lead to infection. Unfortunately, this also results in the removal of the skins' natural moisturizing oils resulting in dry skin. You must discuss this with your surgical team, I'm sure they've see this before and can give you recommendations appropriate for you specific needs. All the best with the rest of your recovery.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery Kryleem. I appreciate your concern, but sometimes scars can be dry right after surgery and moisturizer can help. However if it appears that you have a rash that is itchy, you should check in with your plastic surgeon for further treatment. Good luck.
