I had breast implant revision 6/10/18 My recover was normal. My skin/incision completely healed. After about 4 1/2 months a “white” spot appeared at my incision. My PS removed a suture/stitch. The hole never healed. Implant began to shove out of my wound. PS did a revision Then the implant ripped the stitches and the incision open. 11/29/18 the implant was removed as I had been getting worse instead of getting better. 29 over 5 ½ months post-op. later. How long do I wait to get a new implant?

Answer: Exposed breast implant If this is the way your breast currently looks I would have this addressed as soon as possible. It appears to be an exposed implant that could develop into an infection if not already. This should be addressed sooner rather than later.

Answer: Implant Extrusion This is not a good situation. Your body had a foreign body and it got infected, that's why the wound opened up. Unless the surgeon irrigated thoroughly, put in a drain, and removed it when it was dry, there is possibly still infection in there. I would wait at least a year, if not 2. If you re-augment too soon, the same thing will for sure occur.
