Asked By:annii11 in Australia, AU

I am 4 months post breast reduction (anchor technique). 2 weeks post surgery I developed a staph infection in the vertical incision site of my left breast treated with 2 courses of antibiotics. I now have an approx 1 inch in diameter hard painful lump in my breast where the infection was.
