I had 25 year old silicone implants removed 20 days ago. One implant had very bad capsular contracture and the other was ok. PS had difficulty getting the implant and capsule out on right side. Immediately filled up with fluid both sides. PS said it was fine and would resolve. Almost 3 weeks & I can feel it when I walk, both sides but one side worse. He was going to put drains in and didn't during surgery. Is it possible that this will resolve or do I need to insist he take another look?
