Dear Trussell72, In general, you should not have elective surgery with a remote infection as that increases the chances of infection at the new operative site. You should be on antibiotics at least 48 hours before undergoing any other elective surgery. If you were to have an implant in place, you really should be completely resolved of infection before risking an elective procedure.
It is great you are being treated and also important that you inform your plastic surgeon about the infection and treatment plan you are on as soon as possible. They will be able to best assess the situation as it relates to your procedure and ensure your safety.
Sometimes surgery on the breast can stimulate milk production. You might want to see your gyn to check your prolactin level.
This is unlikely to be the result of your first surgery. In any case, if you'd like to avoid any extra scarring, you should speak with your plastic surgeon. They can open up your old abdominoplasty scar to allow access to repair your hernia so that the there will be no additional scar.
This is not uncommon and can be from diet and exercise changes after surgery as well as fluid retention from swelling. If concerned, review with your surgeon.
