Can cellulitis on earlobe lead to capsular contracture?

July 16, 2015
Asked By:couldntbehappier in Wenatchee, WA

I had a breast augmentation in Nov 2014. I'm on vacation and noticed my ear lobe was swollen and I was diagnosed with cellulitis and given Bactrim. I'm wondering if I need to worry about capsular contracture.

Is it common for the areola to become lighter in color after Breast Augmentation?
Christopher J. Morea, MD says:

Thank you for your question. The areola will stretch after a breast augmentation which can cause it to appear lighter in color. Skin loss can cause pigment changes. I suspect the stretching is what is making your areolas appear lighter. Best of luck
