4wks post op with teardrop text implants. 1wk post, noticed dimple incision. 4wks, incision collapse, 101+ fever, puss oozing. 2 surture removed, now open hole. On Augmentin and silvadene cream. Fever gone and puss less, wound still open. DR said 30-40% chance resolving. Started Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Wound was not getting natural oxygen to begin with. sweat, hot and humid temps, bacteria last 4 wks. Hole is in center, deepest point of incision, not on sides. Can my implant be saved?
