Breast fistula removal and implants (Photo)

March 24, 2016
Asked By:Molly3226 in Mississippi, MS

I had my nipples pierced four years ago, had them in for a few months then removed them because of infection in my right nipple. The infection would seem to clear up then abscess back again. I developed a fistula from the infection. Last year I had the fistula and the track and some glands around it removed. I have been problem free and the surgeon said I could get implants once it healed. What is your opinion I would like them but am I a good candidate?
