I performed an uneventful breast augmentation on this patient on (b)(6) 2020 and used the inplant funnel to insert her implants per the manufacturer's instructions.On pod#17, she noticed that her left breast incision developed a pinhole incision that started draining brownish fluid.I took her back to the operating room for washout and implant replacement.I had a similar situation happen to two other patients a week prior and then on 2 of my other breast augmentations done of the same day as this patient.I now strongly believe it's the result of some sort of contamination of the inplant funnel.This patient and another have grown out serratia marcescens.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
