How Do I Know if I Have an Infection or Hematoma After Breast Implant Surgery?

December 1, 2010
Asked By:danilas in Voorhees, NJ

I had silicone breast implants placed 15 days ago. The left is soft and painless. The right is painful and harder to the touch. I had bilateral capsular contractures with saline implants in the past and am very concerned. Could this be an infection? Hematoma? Or contractures again?
