Can you please help me? 11 month old implants leaking white/green pus (Photo)

I would make your operating surgeon aware of this change as soon as possible. Periprosthetic infections are difficult to treat, and in my practice I would take you back to surgery urgently for this drainage, which may represent infection.

Based on what you mentioned , and the picture , this could be infection around the implant the best option is to discuss with you plastic surgeon. If there is infection the Implants may need to be removed. Once the infection is resolved the next step in reconstruction can be discussed.

Breast implants are not meant to be in the body forever. Each set has a limit of about 7-10 before before getting them switched out. Recently, the FDA has warned women with implants that they can be associated two types of cancers. Also, Breast Impalnt Illness is something your should review to learn more about and could be the cause of the infection.

Hi Adventurous345816,
The signs and symptoms you describe--a reconstructed breast that is red, hot, swollen, and draining pus--are all very concerning for an established infection surrounding the implant. This will likely require surgery.
I would suggest calling your surgeon right away (as soon as you read this)--they will likely want to see you and admit you back to the hospital for management.
Hope this helps.

Dear Adventurous345816,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Its always hard to tell with just one photo, but your breast appears red and edematous. I would highly recommend seeing your surgeon sooner rather than later. You may need to have that implant taken out if there is a persistent infection.

You need to see your plastic surgeon ASAP. Unfortunately, implants this badly infected usually have to be removed. I'm sorry you are going through this, but don't despair. Breast reconstruction is often a journey, but there are plastic surgeons that can help you get where you want to be.
