so an update

I got prescribed Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid which is the same thing i had post-op (augmentin), but not as strong as the antibiotics Dr M put me on when i got infected at week 5... anyway, infection cleared up within a few days... few weeks later, I'm infected AGAIN, but on the opposite side this time.

I was just starting to really like the results too, I had underestimated the residual swelling from the bimax in the cheeks which was "blurring" the results for lack of a better description. I did a lot of reading about infected facial implants, the literature suggests that if medpor gets infected early post-op, removal is really the only treatment that works.

how long after your original surgery did the implants get infected?
