Can cellulitis on earlobe lead to capsular contracture?

July 16, 2015
Asked By:couldntbehappier in Wenatchee, WA

I had a breast augmentation in Nov 2014. I'm on vacation and noticed my ear lobe was swollen and I was diagnosed with cellulitis and given Bactrim. I'm wondering if I need to worry about capsular contracture.
