Tags: exercise, infection

2 1/2 mos post op breast lift with 500 cc saline implants. my incisions have healed and my ps has cleared me to do all activities. 1 week ago, after i tried jogging for the 1st time, the side of my right breast became flushed and pink. I thought i was flushed from the workout but it has stayed pink for a week now. It hasnt gotten any worse either. no fever, no pain, its warm to the touch but not hot. i have a call in to my PS - no response yet. if i had an infection it would be obvious right?

Possible breast implant infection

Implant infections can at times be hard to detect.  However, you don't have signs and symptoms of an infection.  Never the less, you should be checked out to be sure, perhaps have a blood test if indicated.
