What is wrong with my implants? I am 20 days post op.

May 1, 2017
Asked By:Jenna2o in Beverly Hills, CA

My implants don't look quite right. At 3-4 days I had some blood staining on the left side and the scar looked puffy and pink compared to the right. The same side later got infected. The infection has now resolved but it seems that the implant on the left side is sticking out on the left. Is it possible that I have displaced my implant? Have you had any similar cases? if so when are revision surgeries normally carried out? I would appreciate any help and advice.
