Cellulitis means you have an inflammation (mild infection) in the area of your surgery that usually is cleared with antibiotics.
Personally, I do not recommend submuscular implants in women who lift weights. Muscle contractions cause weird implant distortions which gets squished between muscle and rib cage. Strong muscle eventually causes implant displacement into armpits. In my opinion it is not good.
