How long can I wait for another surgery after silicone rupture?

May 6, 2014
Asked By:Purdy007

I had 300g silicone implant placed under the muscle. I did it in Mexico. My Obgyn noticed a bump recently so I had an ultrasound today it confirmed a rupture. It still looks decent and I don't know if I can take time off and pay for another surgery at the moment. Also I'm worried if I have one breast reconstructed then they'll be lopsided because it will be swollen. How long should I wait until I go back to fix it?
