Seroma and likely infection. Will antibiotics be enough to help this heal?

December 7, 2014
Asked By:Lottielou in London, GB

I had a breast implant 3 weeks ago. One breast was very painful and a few days later large amount of seroma ruptured from the incision underneath the breast. It continued to leak and although I was very careful I am now of the opinion that although where it was leaking from has just healed the other end of the incision which I thought was healed has become infected.I had my surgery abroad, so it is not easy to see my surgeon. I am getting antibiotics forum my doctor How will I know if this is enough?
