My left implant was removed about a week and a half ago (3 weeks after I initially got them) due to infection. There was only 10-15ml of infected fluid in the pocket, and I stopped leaking after a few days. However, two nights ago I somehow wokeup lying completely on my front and since have had what can be described as muscle ache in the area and a lot of leakage. The leakage isn't puss its sort of a dark yellow clear liquid but there is a lot more than before. Should I be concerned? Thanks
