I had a breast augmentation at the end of Dec. 4 weeks later they got infected and were removed. A culture was done that showed no growth. I have been dealing with pain in my breast and fluid draining from the incision. I have been out on doxycycline, augmenting, and bactrim.

I have had an ultrasound, CT scan but nothing shows any problems in my breast!
