I had breast implant replacement and breast lift done a week ago. I have cellulitis in the left breast. It is very painful red and swollen. I don't have fever yet. My surgeon put me on Bactrim. Does this sound like an appropriate drug? Also, I've heard that once people get an infection, they most likely need to have the implants removed. What are the chances this will happen to me? This is very stressful!
