Will Infected Seroma Go with Antibiotics?

You should see your surgeon as soon as possible, and not the nurse. An infected seroma should be drained, and your implants may need to be replaced.

Dear Lowry86,

 

I am sorry that you had to endure complications after your surgery.

It seems that you have developed a serious infection and the nurse's instructions may not be adequate and antibiotic treatments alone may not be the solution.

I encourage you to have your PS examine you to come up with a treatment plan that best fits your current situation.

Thank you for your inquiry and best of wishes to you.

Hi, what you describe might well be an infection of the left breast wound and implant, please contact your plastic surgeon and ask to be assessed by him not only by the nurse. if you have an infected seroma the treatment with antibiotics alone is not adequate.

If you infact have an infected seroma it needs to be drained as soon as possible. If this does not occur it can turm into an abscess.

All of the symptoms and signs you describe indicate a possible serious infection of the tissues surrounding your breast implant.  I would recommend immediate close follow up and examination with your plastic surgeon, not only the nurse.

I'm sorry to hear about the  complication you are experiencing.

Immediate evaluation by your plastic surgeon is indicated. Unfortunately, if the fluid accumulation is infected then a drainage procedure may be indicated.  Also, if this is the case, removal of the breast implants for a period of time will also likely be indicated.

Immediate follow-up with your plastic surgeon ( not nurse) is your next step.

Best wishes.

The symptoms you describe are suggestive of infection. This is  a big deal problem with implants, and you should arrange to be seen by your surgeon now.

Good luck, best wishes.

If you have an infected breast implants and having the symptoms that you are describing, then I suggest you contact your surgeon immediately.  Good luck.

Thank you for the question, I think you need to contact your plastic surgeon to address this problem. This is a serious complication if you have infection and this online forum is not the right place to answer your problem.
