Will UTI cause issues in my breast implants?

Question

I'm 10 weeks post op and I have a uti. I went to a doctor and was given antibiotics within a day of noticing the symptoms and have been drinking ural. I woke up this morning with a red rash all over my body so will be giving back to the doctor today because it's an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. But I just wanted to ask if the uti will do any damage such as capsular contracture? Thanks for taking your time to help.

I appreciate your question.

Addressing the situation in a timely fashion as you did, you should be ok.  For any concerns, please follow up with your Surgeon.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!

Having a UTI at this point in the post-op period should not negatively affect your breasts. As long as everything is handled promptly, which it sounds like it is, you should be just fine. Good luck!

With prompt treatment, you should be fine.  You are doing all the right thing especially seeing your surgeon.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi
