Chin Implant Infection from Wearing the Garment/chin Strap Too Tight? (Photo)

nov66
my chin implant/lipo around neck was done 6 wks ago, the incision was healing fine until 2 wks ago i wore the strap too tight it seemed to be the best way to help with the swelling the tighter i wore it.. that night incision was little red, next morning blood-bubble-like breakout w/ non-smelly yellow mucus/drainage little blood, applied antiseptic for a wk better but didn't stop the mucus, dr. rx'ed antibiotics Bactrim and Cipro also OTC antibi oitment 4 days ago but still yellow mucus, itching.
