2 days after surgery I felt like I had the flu, went to regular doctors twice and both times after blood work they said it's viral, about 7 days later I saw my plastic surgeon dr. Kovanda and he said yes they are infected and prescribed an antibiotic. However after 7 days of barely functioning,body aches,severe head aches,over 102 temp,chills, naseaus I went to ER. From there I stayed 7 days and 2 surgeries to clean infection out and breakup some hard spots. Dr.Kovanda was out of town so a different surgeon helped me out..dr. Hatfield..she did a tremendous job. Dr. Kovanda didn't even want me going to the ER and hasn't called me once to see how I was doing. I lost my job because of this and had to cancel my Vegas trip. I hope i don't need more surgery.

Still have some volume, but I bet I'll lose alot more. Still have the indents unless things settle and change...not sure what to expect since I had to have 2 additional surgeries by a different plastic surgeon to clean up infection while in the hospital.

I'm glad your infection is gone ! Your breasts look good. Do you know how much fat did your doctor transfered to your breasts ? What does your doctor say about the indent ? Take care

Everything is still healing and maybe when things are all settled in it will go away but I doubt it

Hi hunny I just wanted to say that I also had fat injection to my breasts along with the lollipop lift and less then a month after sugary my breasts still looked the same as my before pics..it was so disappointed. I Paid 11 grand and got nothing. I criedon't everyday until I went to a different surgeon who did a mini lift and breast implants..I also got flu like syptoms after the second surgery I thought I was dying. Im still not sure what caused it..it wasn't infection. But I feel great now and I absolutely love my breasts. I hope you are feeling much better and find a Surgeon that makes you happy.

That said, I can provide general information about my practice and the protocols we follow. If any of my patients suffer a complication following treatment and I not immediately available, I make every effort to arrange for the best possible care. For example, I always arrange for a physician to be available to my patients during any planned absences. If a patient has to seek emergency care while I am travelling, I contact the emergency room physician (as soon as I'm alerted) to provide the patient's recent medical history and collaborate on a treatment plan.
I am sometimes prevented from providing care to my patients who have been admitted to a hospital during an emergency - this occurs if the patient is admitted to a facility where I do not have admitting privileges. In such situations, I request that the patient is transferred to a different hospital, where I can attend to their care. Regretfully, hospitals are under no obligation to follow through on such requests. The simple fact remains that, despite my intentions, I cannot coordinate the care of my patients if the admitting hospital does not cooperate.
I care deeply about all of my patients. I sincerely regret any circumstance that would lead a patient to conclude (erroneously) that I am not concerned for her well-being - nothing could be further from the truth. My door is always open to any patient who has concerns regarding her care. I am always willing to find solutions to any perceived problem or misunderstanding.
