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?

Answer: Postop implant question Regardless where you had your procedure performed, it sounds as though you have had some problems after your operation and you now are under appropriate care by a doctor in your own country. They will be able to assess your healing based on physical exam, blood tests, and other investigations as necessary.

Answer: Drainage from breast augmentation incision this is a truly unfortunate complication for you. You will need to be seen by a properly trained plastic surgeon to help you with this. It is likely that he will need removal of the implant with a period of healing prior to reimplantation. There are protocols for salvaging an augmentation result with fairly good success but I suspect most surgeons would still recommend removal and additional surgery later.High fever, chills, or worsening condition should prompt an immediate evaluation in the emergency room.he need to take this problem seriously and have it treated promptly.
