Breakouts

Merry Christmas !!

I just had a question.. I have noticed that since my surgery (12/17) that my face has completely exploded in pimples.I usually have beautiful skin and rarely any break outs. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the surgery. Has anyone noticed increased breakouts since the surgery?

ugh...I have noticed I break out a lot more! even 10 months out! It may be due to the increased hormones that are released as you lose weight. I know my emotions were all over the board for months as well.

Aren't hormones the best??!

I had the same problem here too. Mine lessons after I stopped with three Protein Shakes today. Hopefully that will help.

Hormone upheaval and ketosis.

I went to the dermatologist a month after surgery because I was tired of breaking out so much. She prescribed Spirolactone and I haven't seen a pimple since. That's 13 months without one single pimple or blackhead. There are days when I can just wash my face and skip the make-up totally. I don't have to try and cover up the redness, blotchiness, and swelling that comes with breakouts.

I'm 5 days post-op and I experienced the breakout the 2nd day. I've never had an issue with pimples or any type of breakouts, so it was odd for me to see a pimple. I hope it normalizes over time.
