Good day to all my fellow Warriors!
I’m a 65 year old woman who had a bilateral mastectomy with breast tissue expanders for future reconstruction surgery, on 3 26/24. The JP drains were removed on 4/4/24 and my first saline injections to the expanders, was doe on 4/11/24. On 4/12/24, I developed a low grade fever and their was a Betadine color liquid actually dripping from the bottom of original surgery site. Went back to my plastic surgeon immediately. He had insert another JP drain and was put on antibiotics for a 10 days course. My question and concern is should I even bother going through reconstruction surgery, do I even want to think about that in 10-15 years I will have to change the implants, assuming that nothing else goes wrong? Any thoughts or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
