Can I leave PIP Implants in ?

Droopy4
Hi, I have PIP implants put in in 2001 over the muscle , a small C , and have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with them. Recent ultrasound shows a small leak In the right hand breast and slightly inflamed lymph nodes in armpits. Have thin and delicate skin generally so am concerned about the look without replacement as the skin has stretched a lot. would really prefer not to have to undergo any surgery at all given the risks. Can I, should I , just leave them in ?
