Acne after BA? :(

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.

@holly1101 thank you for the reassurance 🙂 thats good to know and thank god it will go away eventually. I read up on it a bit more online and quite a few women suffer from it too after BA 🙂 xx

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:)

Thank you ladies, that’s made me feel better 🙂 xxx

OMG I have the worst spots on my chest and I’m such a picker lol so I look like a dart board , so glad it’s not just me haha ! Xxx

It’s very normal I had it for around 3 weeks I tried everything to get rid of them but nothing including showering worked I have to let it take it’s course, I’m going in for my 2nd ba in a few weeks and dreading this and the bloating tummy again 🙁 lol x

Thank you!! So glad it’s not just me 🙂 I’m such a picker too!! Can’t help myself haha. Charlie good luck with your op 🙂 xx

I have got this too! Has anyone found anything that works?! Xx

Ive got not spots but really really bad dry skin it’s flaking off all over!! 🙁

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 🙁

Horrible isnt it! 🙁
Funny enough my boobs are fine its my whole body but boobs!! Even my arms pits are bad! 🙁 x e45 is a bloody rip off aswell x

Sudocrem was the only thing that worked! Leave it on a few hours and the next day is loads better xxx
