Surgery: It is of utmost importance you call the surgeon and get a follow-up appt to have the area addressed and assessed post operatively. You may be developing post operative issues that the surgeon will need to know and that may need treatment . Best wishes.

Breast: This could be a sign of infection such as wound or cellulitis. Have it checked by your surgeon asap.
