On Oct 13, infection on right nipple (picture incl) which was treated with 10 days of Bactrin DS and ointment. Healed fine after 2 weeks. Surgeon suspected suture colonization. At 6 mths post op, pain on gala flex on outer end of breast, followed by painful lump there, red spreading across bottom of breast, fever and chills, swollen breast. Implant removed.

Answer: Infections I would think the two infections were not related due to the time span between each. However, a small amount of bacteria from the first might have contaminated your implant in a small dose which gradually grew to the second infection. More often, the second infection followed a dental appointment or infection elsewhere, like sinus.
