I'm 58 years old. I had Silicone Breast Implant surgery 27 yrs. ago. Implants were placed behind muscle wall. Been having some pain in my left breast. My doctor ordered an ultrasound and CT scan because of a lump under my arm. The results is suspected rupture.

What am I looking at in the way of surgery, recovery time, and cost to have them removed? Could you recommend a topnotch, reputable cosmetic surgeon experienced in removal of implants in my area of Ashland, KY, Huntington, WV, Cincinnati, OH, or Columbus, OH. Any and all information is much appreciated.
