Sorry to hear it. I had an explant following an infection and the recovery time was fairly quick. A few weeks of taking it easy, keeping the incision dry, etc., no heavy lifting, Tylenol for a couple of days. (I have a staph infection now with an expander — hoping it works out). The drain is always the biggest challenge but I’ve worked out clothes to hide it. Infections are not uncommon. Take it easier than you think you should and heal up! Best wishes to you.
