MRI shows possible extracapsular rupture of my 8 year old textured Allergan biocell implants (the recalled type). MRI also shows my lymph nodes are inflamed possibly due to being silicone laden or just because I just got the COVID vaccine. I know I need to replace these implants soon but is surgery an emergency or can I wait one more month? I have one doctor who can do surgery in next few weeks but another doctors who I prefer but who has no have availability til next month. Who do i go with?

Thank you for your inquiry! Are you have concerns with your breasts? This could change the answer. We would love to sit down with you and review your options. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your goals.
If your capsules are thin, they can be left in place. You might want to consider going down in size that fits your frame and tissue better with a possible lift. Remember, you were not happy with your breasts prior to surgery and may not be happy after removal.
