Is red and hot to the touch skin after breast augmentation bad? I'm 1 week post op. (photo)

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent procedure! If you are experiencing any sort of redness or heat to touch it's best to follow up with your surgeon regardless if you're having a fever or not. Good luck and congratulations again!

Red and hot to touch one week after surgery may indicate an infection despite your being on antibiotics. This should be evaluated by your surgeon. If an infection is present, they will likely switch you to a more powerful antibiotic.

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Increased redness, warmth, swelling or pain should be addressed with your plastic surgeon.  Best of luck.
