My breast other then nipple is ok. My pain is coming from the areola. They found a small abscess today in the ultra sound. My implants are under the muscle silicone. Will my implant be ok or will it have to be removed. I have no redness or fever at this time. I am very nervous, just found out today about abscess as I was still having pain.
