I had strep throat in 2011. I read something today that said that breast implant infection can be caused by existing pathogens in the nose, throat, or gut, and endogenous skin flora can cause breast implant infection after surgery. Do I still carry strep throat pathogens after all this time and will it affect my chances of getting an affection after surgery?
My surgery for breast augmentation is scheduled for 1/20. I am currently on amoxicillin for strep throat (I had a positive strep test yesterday) and now I have managed to contract hand, foot, mouth disease. Even if I feel better should I reschedule my surgery? I don't want to put my body through even more stress if my immune system is not fully recovered. As much as I am anxious to have the procedure I want to make sure my recovery is as smooth as possible!
hi I am 4 weeks post op my breast augmentation today. Yesterday morning I started having a sore throat and I ended up going to doctor late evening and they put me on keflex for strep. My question is, will having strep throat cause me to have capsular contracture?
I am currently 12 days post op, breast augmentation inframammary incision. My youngest daughter was sent home from school today with a fever and sore throat. After taking her to see her PCP she came back with a positive step test. Is this dangerous to me and if so how? What should I watch for and what measures should I take to avoid post op complication??
