Dear Doctors, can somebody identify this reaction inside my boob? The surgeon claimed that it was no infection - so he simply did not take a swab with a culture (is that even standard practice, when you see an obvious reaction/infection, that had led to an explant, that you don‘t take a swab for the laboratory?). Before the explantation I had blisters on my suture, right breast had stabbing pain. Pain extended to sternum and left side by now, although implant is out on the right side only
