Can you get a skin rash from a tissue extender?

September 23, 2014
Asked By:Firefrog in Lake Havasu City, AZ

My tissue extender on my left breast has been in for 4 months and is ready to be removed and replaced with my implant. I developed a slight skin rash between my breasts and a little on my right breast which is my own My plastic surgeon will not operate until the rash is gone. I'm on my 3rd cream (with steroids) and nothing is helping the rash. Should I proceed with my operation and hope the rash goes away once the extender is removed and replaced with the implant?
