reconstruction issues
Hello Everyone,
I had my reconstruction done on Feb 14th. I was recovering slowly, and I developed an infection in the one breast. The incision healed nicley, however there is alot of fluid build up with redness. I am currently, on a at home IV of antibiotic. I am struggling mentally, because Feb 19th was a year out of my bi-lat and was feeling good. Now, I am quite uncomfortable and hoping this antibiotic kicks out the infection. Has anyone else come across this. I had permenant tissue expanders put in. I am not happy I did this....yet....
