UTI after breast augmentation, is this associated with an infection? 1 week post op.

Thank you for your question. This could be associated with your antibiotics. Please speak with your surgeon.

There is not necessarily a direct relation between a urinary tract infection/ irritation and an infection around your implants, and in fact it would be uncommon to have a UTI caused by the breast surgery unless you had a catheter during the operation. That being said, we want to limit the risk of complications with the surgery, so if you are feeling the symptoms of a UTI, please call you primary care physician to get a urine test and antibiotics if necessary.Feel better.

     There are many causes for a UTI and having a breast augmentation isn't one of them.  Sometimes being on antibiotics can lead to a UTI so discuss this with your plastic surgeon and good luck.
