Asked By:fnash in Longview, TX

I have a breast implant 2 yrs ago. since then the left had to be replaced. Now the left one is infected and I am on antibotics - 2 matter of fact.He is telling me that I may have cellulitis or mastitus, either way I have been on antibotics --3 different times since the last replacement. Do I need to see another doctor for a second opinion? I am worried of loosing my breast all together and may end up with staph. What do you recommend?
