Is this implant extrusion?
Asked 2014-09-24
I had a breast augmentation on July 2 ; saline under the muscle, 475 ccs left & 575 ccs right. I developed a seroma had a second surgery on July 22. The doctor took the implant out cleaned everything and put it back in. The doctor also took cultures and placed a drain in. Cultures were negative. Yesterday I noticed a black hole in my incision with light leakage. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow but I am stressing. I've been through so much with this breast and I don't understand why I'm having so many problems.

Unfortunately it sounds like you have an exposed implant. The fluid and black hole are the telltale signs of this. Hopefully you contacted your surgeon before you sent this and he/she will see you ASAP!
