I have oily skin and breaking out after breast augmentation. Is this normal? (photos)

OliviakatesJan 13, 2015

I had an breast augmentation a month ago. I noticed that my chest and back and super oily. I've been breaking out excessively. I get acne on my face regularly, but rarely on my body. Could this be from the surgery?! I'm getting really worried. It's getting worse.

Best test to assess the status of implant is MRI. Local infiltration of tissue may also be evident with MRI. However, systemic involvement may only be substantiated with bio-chemical testing, thorough physical exam coupled with imaging which may include X-ray, CT Scan, MRI etc.

Generally I if there is an issue with capsular contracture on only one side, and the other breast remained with excellent form and without issues, I would focus treatment to that breast only. Most women getting breast augmentation by plastic surgeons love their new look. However, complications...
