The surgeon took out the right implant, washed it and re-inserted it to try and save it even though I had an infection so my right breast had 3 x surgeries inc the mastectomy and explant.

I’ve had two courses of antibiotics, plus, I’ve switched surgeons for another reconstruction later this year which will be around 11-12 months post explant.
