Fluid around implant. It has not filled up as much as before and has stayed the same size for the last four weeks.

Asked By:Modes1 in Dublin, OH

The Dr has suggested we wait a little while to see if it goes down on it's own, but I am aware the implant may need to come out. Is there anything I can do to help it go down? I have heard increasing protein may help. The Dr is still unsure what has caused the fluid to build up. Possibly mastitis, or engorgement, or maybe milk leaking into the cavity. I'm worried the issue may not go away, even if the implant is removed. Can the fluid sit inside you for prolonged periods? Or is it bad for you?
