Right breast infection. Should I go with an areola incision next time?

March 6, 2024
Asked By:Summertimefyne in Pasadena, California

Right breast got infected after breast augmentation. It was to late to save the implant. This is the second time this has happen. Both times it had E Coli. on the wound. I was told I have to wait another 6 months to get another implant in. This time i was thinking of going in through the Areola instead of the under the boob incision. Going to get 2 second opinion from a different Plastic surgeon. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks
