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

Your implants are somewhat large for your frame and tissue. I would suggest raising the lower side and going down to something smaller and more comfortable for you. If you like this side, then just raise the lower side.
