Asked By:emilyso in Hebburn, M7

I have EC PIP breast implants. The surgeon has not removed all contents, been ill for over 2 years. A&E removed as I had cellulitis. But the stuck escaped parts esp in the right breast, not removed. They have also not removed armpit free silicone. I’ll stay stuck as so adhered to my rib cage. Pls see scans. What do I do? 5 days since Explant. Right still stuck. They did say they removed capsules, but this was stuff outside them. As you can see my rib cage has twisted due to being stuck.
