Infection, aftercare, and necrosis from surgery mid March with board certified plastic surgeon. (Photos)

Asked By:luckylaw in Kansas City, MO

A day after surgery part of each areola turned puffy/purple. Surgeon texted me not to worry, but gently move breast around. These became necrotic. I Am debrided weekly and have open wounds. After first debridement I felt sick and GP said infection. Surgeon says he bets there's no infection. cultures show Staph infection. I'm losing confidence in my surgeon and I am concerned. Should I seek a second opinion? Both look much better, but wet to dry dressing still pulls out smelly green substance.
