    Hi, I’m 3,5 weeks post op and since the beginning of this week I’ve started to get break outs on my chest 🙁 has anyone else had this too? I’d never really had a problem with acne on my chest, only rarely I’d get a spot. I guess this might also be because my period is late since after surgery (I’m pretty certain I am not pregnant). Anyone else’s period has also been late after BA? xxx

    Hi Diana hope your ok, think u should call your surgeon though Hun not to worry you but my surgeon wasn’t happy performing a BA on one of my friends who sometimes has acne on her chest as said it could possibly cause an infection in the implant. Hope you get it sorted ASAP xxxx

    It’s normal, don’t panic at all! They’re strapped up lots, sweating, being washed less and generally it’s just a side effect of anaesthetic.
    Mine got worse when I started moisturising them daily too.

    I’m 2 week post op and I have never had spots on my chest!!! But yesterday when I looked down I had so many, i think it’s from not washing etc. Nurse said I can shower tomorrow!! Can’t wait to finally feel really clean and fresh instead of shallow baths lol! hoping it will all go once properly showered etc xx

    Same here. Since week 2 till now (4 wpo today) my skin was very bad….flaking off because was so dry and spots around boobies. My nurse warned me it can happen but it will go as quick as we got them. I just started to get better:)

    I use the clearasil gel wash and cream, it helped a little bit. I also finally got my period and it seemed like the spots have started to go down a bit. Gina, my skin is really dry and flaky too on my boobs 🙁
