How long can I wait for surgery on ruptured silicone implant?

December 15, 2019
Asked By:Humorous3393 in Australia, AU

I recently had an ultrasound that reported "signs of intracapsular rupture in right breast and capsule degeneration". I have no symptoms, although now that I know about it I feel every little pain and discomfort and my nipple is starting to hurt/burn. Can I wait until April (17 weeks) to have them replaced? And can I still run and do 40kg weights in the meantime? I have 410cc Natrelle allergan anatomical, textured, silicone implants, placed dual plane in 2014.
