Asked By:dani1182 in Israel, IL

Dear Doctors, On the last July I did a fat injection surgery in my chest due to a hole. About three weeks ago the area swelled up and became red. I visited the surgeon twice and he drained the area. The first drainage was carried out last Monday and another drainage was carried out yesterday In addition I am treated with antibiotics twice a day amoxicillin 875mg. I'm a little worried. Is this normal?
