I am now on my 10th post op MM and my scars are looking fine. The only problem I'm having is that my left breast implant gives me excruciating pain and it's not getting better. It's not red or looking weird at all, but it's definitely bigger than the right one. On the past 2 days I have been having 101.3 fever that doesn't go away. I already spoke to my PS and he said it's normal but of course I'm worried once I didn't had it fever before. What's your opinion on this matter?
