Will leaving a ruptured implant for 2 months, change the pocket for new implants?

Independent464639
I had saline implants placed in me 10 years ago Unfortunately my left side ruptured last month ago around September 16. I do have a surgery coming up for November 22, to remove and replace. Now I’m just scared because I was reading if I wait to long the scar tissue can tighten then capsular contraction and it can affect the new implant. Will leaving them in for 2 months cause a lot of scar tissue with capsular? Will I have difficulties?
