Asked By:manij81 in Park City, UT

butt implants were done five months ago. a small hole started in the scar two weeks ago. 3 days ago I sat down and the hole felt like it popped and clear fluid came draining out. I still have slight drainage.now the hole is getting bigger and my husband can see the implant.I went to a local wound clinic and they said it is not infected at this point.my doctor is a two hour flight away... what should I expect? will the implants need to be removed for sure?
