What Causes Redness Around Incision After Breast Augmentation?

About a month ago I had a Breast augmentation and lift and I am starting to notice redness and puffyness around the incisions. One Breast even has a puss filled looking bump. Is this something normal to expect with foreign objects in my body? Or should I go see my doctor immediately?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No foreign, objects won't cause any allergy to the body because the material used is of inert quality.

I suspect infection in you. I advice you to take cefixime tablet 200 mg three times a day for minimum of three days. Please take above medication under your doctors guidance. You can take pantoprazole under your doctors guidance for acidity.

Please maintain good hygiene around the incision mark. Do regular dressing and maintain cleanliness. This will equally help as taking antibiotics.

Please wear cotton bra for the breast. Synthetic material can cause further reaction.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
