I git my implants replaced about 6 or 7 years ago because they were old and the scar tissue was disfiguring them. The left is doing great, no issues. The right keeps hardening. I have been in 3 times to have the scar tissue removed. The implant is now puckering again (where visible) so I saw my surgeon again about getting it fixed again. I'm waivering- should I just get them taken out or suck up the cost? I need an opinion.
