Small rash between breasts after a breast augmentation, is this normal? (photos)

Question

I have a small 'rash' between my breasts. It looks like i just broke out and have like 15 tiny zits... is that normal? When i go to squeeze them it feels like all bubbly under my skin.. im guessing thats from the swelling?

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. The rash you describe appears superficial and will likely clear up on its own as you are able to shower and inflammation comes down. The bubbling sensation under the skin shortly after surgery is usually related to a little air and fluid trapped in the tissues. That will be reabsorbed by your body within a couple of weeks. Talk to your Plastic Surgeon about any ongoing problems.All the best

Rashes after any surgery are common but if it persists, further evaluation is warranted. I would discuss your situation with your surgeon.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD
