Have had cellulitis in my left breast at least 8x since breast lift with implants - is this common? (photo)

You probably have a very low grade infection now around your implant that surfaces as cellulitis from time to time. I would advise that you have this implant removed and then augment again in 6 months after everything is healed. Otherwise, you might have some problem in one of your milk ducts, but the cellulitis would be more around your areola. I do think the problem is with your implant and capsule.

Thank you for your question. While it is not common to have repeat cellulitis after breast implant, it can happen. You likely have repeated low-grade bacterial infections that clear with some antibiotics. Unfortunately, the only solution is to remove the implant, and I would remove the capsule as well. You can consider putting an implant in at the same time after the breast pocket is washed out thoroughly, however I would caution you that this is high risk for recurring. This risk is hypothetically reduced if you move the implant from under the pec to over the pec or vice versa.Your other options are to remove the implant and capsule, let everything settle down and heal, and then put in a breast implant Three or four months down the road. Good luck

I would really want to know if this is cellulitis or a skin rash. If it truly is an infection (cellulitis) it may be deep seeded (your implant) and the only prudent treatment would be to remove the implant. You would allow the body to clear things up over time and in 4-6 months you can have implants replaced.
If it is a rash and not an infection then you should seek the advice of a dermatologist.

Hope that helps.
