Implant rupture and my clinic has closed down - who should I consult? My general practitioner? (photos)

Asked By:Peaceful710718 in Cheshire, United Kingdom

Hello, I had an uplift with implants in 2015. I haven't had any knocks or falls but I have developed a painful swelling in my armpit the last few months and my left breast has developed multiple lumps and a large crater like dimple under the breast along with persistent redness. My clinic has since closed down and I am unable to contact them. Shall I head to my GP? I am unsure of where to go. Thank you.
