CT Scan shows implant and capsular rupture with extracapsular extension of silicone. What needs to be done?

Lucee
Incidental finding: "Progress Notes: 2. CT Scan of Chest: ...Rupture of the right breast implant." "Chest Wall: There are bilateral rim calcified breast implants. There is implant & capsular rupture suspected on the right with extracapsular extension of silicone." "Conclusion: Incidentally noted right sided extracapsular implant rupture with extracapsular extravasation of silicone." MD says no treatment needed. Implants approx. 35 years old. I am 66 & in reasonably good health. What to do?
