Itchy breasts after breast augmentation? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and photo.  It is normal to have itching after surgery, sometimes it's nerves and sometimes it's the scars healing.  You can take benadryl to relieve the itching.  

Dear Shar1993,
Itchiness of the breasts following breast augmentation is a very common occurrence.  It is thought to be the result of nerve irritation from stretch, which gives the breasts the sensation of being irritated.  Over the counter benadryl may help with this problem, but if the sensation persists, you should be evaluated by your plastic surgeon to see if he/she can prescribe you a topical cream.  Occasionally, the pruritus (itchiness) may be related to a medication (i.e. narcotic or antibiotic), your surgical dressings, or garment.  Best of luck!
