“Breast Implants Removed, Staph Infection”

Not Worth It
Spent: $6,500 in California

My implants were removed over a period of three weeks and three surgeries due to a staph infection which occured because I was not taking antibiotics. Now I am wondering how long I should wait until I can have the implants put back.

My Doctor: Name not provided

My doctor may have decided it was okay not to take anti biotics, however he has done all my other procedures free of charge and is very understanding and devoted to seeing me happy

I would not go in for a 4th time. I think you should take it as a sign that your body is not ok with the implants. It's taken me 10 years to realize that the implants don't make me. I will soon be explanted.
