Hole in crease, size of quarter

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm trying to get info for a friend that had breast implants 3

months ago. Everything was fine until a month ago. She started to get

a sore in the crease of her breast. PS says he might have left a

stich in and she is having a reaction. Its an open wound, PS put her

on meds but its getting worse. I have been everywhere on the net

trying to get info. She wants to get all the info she can.If anyone

has any info PLEASE E-mail me @ tinym109@...

Thanks

Hmmm.....this doesn't sound too good!

Does the wound look like it has some blackened tissue around it anywhere?

Is it growing in size?

I guess I would be concerned about necrosis, but I am sure the PS would

recognize this if he saw it. Beyond that, perhaps there is some sort of

bacterial infection growing there unchecked, but I would think the meds

would help.

Dr. Kolb, I know it is hard to say anything about it, but do you have any

helpful thoughts here?

Patty

Patty: I would have to gather more information on this prior to suggesting

a treatment. She may call me if she likes. 770-457-4677. We have done

approximately ten explants under local with sedation and although they are

more difficult, they can be done in some patients. I have had patients who

had such severe nerve damage that they were in wheelchairs and not

candidates for general and now they are walking. .

It sounds like spitting of a stitch which I also had but then it sounds like

it got worse, I would be concerned if, like Patty said it were to get black

and infected with necrosis, but I am hoping your friend is aware that she

could possibly be reacting to the implant and it may need to come out.

I know a lady who had a similar problem and got an infection and once

infection sets in in implants it becomes very very hard to treat, usually

treatment involves removal of the implant for several months until it clears

up, however antibiotics I would assume are being used now, again keep us

posted,

Love,

Dear Dr. Kolb, Are you able to use local anesthesia with sedation when the

implant is under the muscle?

Thanks

Yes, in some cases I have done this without any problems. .
