Swelling and Pain After Breast Augmentation

I'm 2 1/2 months post breast augmentation. I had a 220cc implant placed in my right breast. A week after surgery, my muscle from my nipple to my back became inflamed, red, and hot. I had four weeks antibotics. CBC came out normal. I've had searing pain on and off deep in my breast since and sore muscle underarm to back. Doctor may remove if I don't improve but thinks no infection is present. Could he be missing one?
