So, i have surgery in about 6-7 weeks, but I seem to have an infection on the inside of my right cheek, near the masseter. After my last surgery the surgeon said the wound didn't fully closed (there was still a small hole). It's probably due to the wound not closing that the tissue is a bit thick or inflamated on the inside and it seems to get worse with pain and itching. Thing is, I have a silicone chinimplant but the problem is not there, but near masseter, where my previous jawimplants have been taken out. I take antibiotics but they don't seem to work.
Maybe there was something left behind in previous surgeries? Part of a stitch or a shaved down small piece of an implant, that is now burried under the skin or masseter? Cause I don't know why it should be infected otherwise. Or maybe if fully closing the wound, there won't be any problems. One of the surgeons I saw about this said it wasn't 'a real' infection, more of an inflamation. But now it seems to get worse. I really need to fix the flaws caused by previous surgeries with the next surgery, and a peek implant is one of the options. Could it be visible on a ct scan if something small like a stitch or very small part of a shaved implant is still there, and could it be taken out during the same surgery?
Thanks in advance!
