I had a mastectomy, then an expander to stretch the skin & muscle for implant. The fills 100cc at time, the last was 120cc, very painful & then the area where a nipple would be turned red & then slowly started turning black, surgeon said it looked "angry" but it should be fine.

Had the implant removed and the larger than a quarter sized hole sewed together. Why?
