Left breast cancer, mastectomy, chemo, radiation. 2 yrs later removed right breast (no cancer), silicone implants both sides. Soon cancer side developed severe infection requiring hospitalization, IV antibiotics and removal. Removal of OK side was not recommended due to possibility of infection spreading. I would like the remaining implant removed and just be flat. Would this require hospitalization and drains, or could it be a simple out patient procedure? Thank you
