i am post op 9 days now and after my surgery they had me on a soft tissue antibiotic for 5 days , now i have ended up with a mild case of mastitis in my left breast i went to my er because my surgen is 5 hours away and thats the diagnosis they gave me and they also again put me on the same antibiotic . my question is what can i do to get rid of it and how long before i am in the clear for infection in other words what is the healing time . and will this infection cause damage to the implant .
I'm doing research on getting a breast augmentation. Are implants still an option for me or is my body more likely to get an infection after the procedure? My body has also rejected foreign objects in the past, implanon ( birth control implant in my arm) and Mirena (physical birth control device in my uterus) does that make me more likely to run into problems?
I am 2 weeks post op with 305cc implants. I have no increase in swelling, heat or redness but I am experiencing a sensation like that of mastitis, a flu like tingling feverishness in my breasts. Is this a normal sensation for this stage of recovery or something that needs to be followed up.
I had inplants 9 years ago. Everything was fine until I recently had a baby. I stopped breastfeeding 3 months ago but now it feels like I have an air bubble at the top of my right breast. During pregnancy my right implant also flipped but corrected itself after a few days. I got mastitis 3 times during breastfeeding and now am very conscious of any breast issues. What could this bubble be? Will it go away by itself? Is it breastfeeding related?
Im looking into getting breast implants since my breast disappeared, deflated, and never grew back after breastfeeding. During the times of breast feeding I developed mastitis 7 times with my last two children ( I have a total of 3). Its been 6 years since I last breast feed along with no further mastitis issues. Im wondering if Im at risk for developing mastitis if I move forward with breast implant?
My breast other then nipple is ok. My pain is coming from the areola. They found a small abscess today in the ultra sound. My implants are under the muscle silicone. Will my implant be ok or will it have to be removed. I have no redness or fever at this time. I am very nervous, just found out today about abscess as I was still having pain.
I have a breast implant 2 yrs ago. since then the left had to be replaced. Now the left one is infected and I am on antibotics - 2 matter of fact.He is telling me that I may have cellulitis or mastitus, either way I have been on antibotics --3 different times since the last replacement. Do I need to see another doctor for a second opinion? I am worried of loosing my breast all together and may end up with staph. What do you recommend?
I had implants in 2004. 6 months ago I had my second daughter and developed a blocked duct and mastitis in my left breast from feeding. My breast is still swollen and painful, an ultrasound showed that the implant was intact. My daughter is now 28 weeks old, last week I returned to my GP, in her opinion my implant was perhaps tethered, although PS didn't agree, I have a further app in 2 weeks.. My implants are PIP and I am going to have them removed. Could the infection have caused contracture?
