I had two 380cc high profile under muscle implants done last year I had an infection after surgery in the one breast, ever since Ive had a noticeable difference in my breasts. When I lie down one falls into my armpit and they just sit very far apart on my chest. Ive been offered to change them from under to over muscle and it may help however have been advised Ill likely need an uplift in the larger lower one in the future. Im unsure what surgery to have first?
Is it true textured silicone implants have more bacteria on them than smooth silicone? Ive gone with textured silicone over the muscle implants 295cc moderate plus xtra. My surgeon told me to go with textured as it helps it stay in place less likely of capsular contracture as its on top of the muscle with it being textured and less likely to see rippling with textured ones too. Is there a much higher risk getting bacterial infections with the textured vs smooth?? I dont want to get infections
9 yrs ago after BA, developed hematoma, it was treated thru surgery & implants remained in, developing cap cont over time in the affected breast only. 2 yrs ago I began developing what seemed like infection in that breast periodically. I am baffled, my drs treat with antibiotics since my symptoms incl radiating heat, pain/tenderness, considerable swelling, & it is only the 1 breast. I am going to have to have revision or removal. Is this infection? scar tissue reaction? Ever heard of this?
HI, I got a breast augmentation 1 month ago and my right breast is still red on the top and kinda tender (more than the other one). I don't have a fever. My doctor has already had me on 2 courses of different antibiotics but I don't know if I have an infection...How can I detect if this is an infection or just normal recovery from the breast implants? Thanks
I'm going into surgery March 10th and my surgeon said I will have to take my nipple piercings out for roughly 3 weeks total. I'm nervous that my piercings will close. How long should I wait to get my nipples re-pierced if they close? How much risk do nipple piercings pose to infection of an implant? I've had mine in for 9 months and have not had an Infection but I really don't want to lose my piercings to my breast augmentation.
Desr Doctors, I had a breast augmentation and some complications along with the procedure. Right after surgery, on the 3rd day starting, I started feeling a local sharp pain in my right breast - it felt like somebody would constantly insert a knife. As time passed, this pain started to cover my whole right breast and then 2 months after surgery I had those blisters on my suture. The surgeon still claims to this day, that I did not have an infection but something unexplainable.
I am scheduled for my breast augmentation on May 19th. I had blood test for medical clearance and the results came back with high white blood cell count and high potassium. My doctor put me on antibiotics and she is going to retest me on Monday. My doctor indicated that the test results are showing that I have some kind of infection in my body. I dont have any symptoms of being sick at all. Is this something that happens often? I am confused! Will they reschedule my surgery?
I had strep throat in 2011. I read something today that said that breast implant infection can be caused by existing pathogens in the nose, throat, or gut, and endogenous skin flora can cause breast implant infection after surgery. Do I still carry strep throat pathogens after all this time and will it affect my chances of getting an affection after surgery?
