Asked By:nantal54 in Green Valley, AZ

how soon should a ruptured silicone implant be removed. I told my doctor about 4 or 5 yrs ago that there was something wrong but he didn't believe me and did nothing. I have now found out my silicone breast implant has ruptured and has probably been leaking for many years. I have had severe headaches for many years and feel fatigued all the time. I feel lightheaded and nauseated all the time also. What is the procedure for removal and how long will i be in the hospital?
