Diagnosed with infection last night, anyone else experienced this ? Started by: Anonymous

Today the antibiotics are kicking in thank the Lord! I am sweating profusely and keen to get all clear today to shower. What a journey so far 🙁

@ntenisa it could possibly be the case I had it before as I started with a cold the week of my op and was coughing mucus on the day. I felt very ill day if my op and to be honest should probably have cancelled but I’d had it planned 3 months prior to and when you get your date well you arrange everything around it. I’m seeing my surgeon today. I just checked my breasts and they really are starting to look good with odd twinge but no severe pain which could be connected to implant infection. Xx

@Cliona I was given antibiotics but they gave me severe diarrhoa so on 3rd day I contacted clinic and they advised I stop taking , this in retrospect was bad advice as I obviously really needed to stick with them. I was very poorly after my op with the chesty cough and severe bruising /swelling. I’m going to see my surgeon today. My breasts are really starting to take shape and are going to look good ,my severe bruising healing swiftly now. I am just praying it’s not infected implant(s) as I seriously can’t go through the trauma of removal and then 3 months with no boobs (looking even worse than before no doubt ) . I am on antibiotics since 4am Sunday and today the severe head pain has subsided. I was on morphine in hospital , the pain was so bad as the infection attacking my brain membrane. I seriously wished I’d never had them done but really trying to be positive as they look good but I can’t live like this if infection comes back which it could if something more malevolent is lurking. Hope you are feeling ok xx

I have seen surgeon today , he is 99,9% certain my boobs are fine! he said if it was infected implants I would REALLY know about it as they / one of them would be very red and swollen and I would be deteriorating fast and would have to have the implants out urgently . Mine are looking the most settled they have so far. He was really supportive and told me (as I am local ) to just drop in anytime. The New look clinic is very client focussed , I’m going back again on Monday.
Its not on at all that your nurse is not coming back to you , that makes me so angry because you feel so worried and just need reassurance from the people who are the professionals. I’m sorry you are been treated this way, I did not go through Mya, I have heard they become passive once clients have had their op which is not good as you have been through a very serious operation!
Just to put your mind at ease though, my left boob looked so big and swollen for at least first 2 weeks after my op, it is only now calming into my 3rd week post op. They change so rapidly , from day to day, one day your incisions will be burning away next day they feel fine, then following day your boobs are numb and the following day fine, its an unpredictable experience.
I also has sickness / nausea for 7 days after op, shocking it was , i was so miserable , I found ginger and lemon water quite good to was the queasiness. I took a helluva lot of pepto bismal too!
I’ve certainly questioned why I had them done over last 2 weeks but thats only because I have been so poorly , you will get to a stage where they start to soften (mine did around 12DPO) and you will start to like them. Its a very emotional process. Take care, if you need any reassurance just buzz me , I’ve had every possible adverse side effect so far so I’m well informed ! xx p..s hubby been great and grandparents took 5 year old , I couldn’t have coped otherwise.
