Is it common to be spitting stitches a year after a breast augmentation? Can it cause an infection? (photos)

Asked By:Jubilant643931 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I had a breast aug a year ago in March and have another scheduled next month. For some reason my body does not like dissolving stitches and I had a pretty big one fester up and then I realize there is a scab on it so I washed the area with hibiclens and applied germ shield on it. I’ve had (4) surgeries in the last two years 3 of them because I got an infection after the original surgery and I am just scared at this point. Also my nipple is not normal I know due to complications.
