I had Mentor Round HP co2 siltex silicone implants and full uplift 18 months ago. I recently found a large lump under my armpit. Ultrasound confirmed that my left implant has ruptured and I have silicone laden lymph nodes.

How soon should I be looking at having the implant removed? Is it serious? What could have caused the rupture?
