Have a culture of your fluid and have your implant removed for about 2 to 3 months

It is very unusual to have your history following a breast augmentation unless there is infection. It appears from your history that you have a low grade infection which should heal with removal of the implant for 2 to three months and a course of antibiotics. discuss this with your surgeon.
