I'm experiencing large, painful bumps turning into pimples, mainly on my upper chest area and to a lesser extent on my breasts. The augmentation results have been great, but this issue is diminishing my enthusiasm a bit. I'm seven weeks post-operation, with under-muscle 450cc implants. The scars have almost vanished! Is this a normal occurrence?
Thank you for sharing your question, and I'm sorry to hear about your breakouts. It is not uncommon to experience minor pimples during the recovery period of a breast augmentation due to skin stretch and swelling. These breakouts should clear up as your results continue to mature. It is important to continue practicing good hygiene and keeping your skin clean and well-moisturized. Allow more time to pass as your skin softens and relaxes. I hope this advice is helpful.
A breast augmentation can sometimes lead to increased metabolic activity in the skin, which may temporarily result in acne breakouts. It is important to inform your surgeon about this occurrence.
The presence of redness and warmth after breast augmentation surgery can sometimes indicate an infection. It is important to discuss this with your surgeon to ensure that no concerning issues are developing and to undergo an in-person examination. In some cases, topical or oral antibiotics may be prescribed to help resolve the symptoms. Good luck with your recovery.
