Sometimes it is not pssible to remove all of the extravasated gel, especially in cases like yours where the rupture was extracapsular and the gel escaped into the tissues. Your lymph nodes keep trying to trap it and those that can be safely removed can be excised.
Some of the nodes, however, get dangerously close to vital structures in your armpit like major nerves and blood vessles. In this case, it is NOT safe to try to remove them. They have been shown to not cause you any health problems, so sometimes the best plan is to remove what you can safely and leave the rest.
