Pink skin on breasts post BA. Is this excessive stretching? (Photo)

March 5, 2019
Asked By:sweetcakes19 in Wilmington, NC

I've had pink skin on my left breast since the 1st week of surgery. I'm 4 weeks post op now. The right breast has had it off and on in the same area as the left but not as constantly. They have itched while wearing certain bras, so I thought maybe it's just irritated. But even when wearing no bra, it stays pink. The left was smaller before surgery and received a larger implant. Is it from the excessive stretching it's experiencing? And overall, how do they look to you at this stage?
