Can A General Infection Cause An Infection In a Well Healed Facial Implant?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I have questions/concerns about my facial implants which were placed six months ago and have healed fine.
1)Are there still risks of infection?
2)If so, what precautions can I take to minimize the risk of an infection occurring?
3)Can a general infection cause an infection in my facial implant?
4)For instance, is it possible for a foodborne infection, like one from eating raw fish such as sashimi, to lead to an infection in my facial implant?
