skin tearing after breast augmentation & still hard to breathe

skin tearing after breast augmentation & still hard to breathe

Hello. i had breast implants done in the beginning of Feb.  it has been almost 2 months now and im not completely healed.  My right breast seems to be healing just fine but my left has been giving me trouble. It is very slow to heal. I was wondering how long does it take for the skin to stop stretching from the implants?  i used a bandaid to cover my left nipple due to painful sensitivity but had to remove it because my skin on the right of my nipple began to tear from the bandaid.  Is that normal after almost 2 months from surgery? also, when i go to bed, it feels like i can't breathe easy. I was a b cup to a c cup so not a huge change. Lying down, it hurts (left side only) to take a deep breath. Is something seriously wrong? could i have some kind of infection? how much longer till im fully recovered? my dr. said 3 months. im concerned......

The problems you are experiencing at 2 months post surgery are not typical, although sometimes patient take longer for symptoms to resolve.  However, the fact that one side feels normal compared with the opposite side suggests that this need to be evaluated by your surgeon.

No it is not normal for your skin to tear from a bandaid or to have trouble breathing. Go see a Dr ASAP. If ur surgeon is not responsive go to a medical Dr. You may have an infection or something else going on. Please see a Doctor right away.
Everyone heals differently but ur symptoms need a Dr's examination. Good Luck!
