Should I be concerned with hole/foul smelling discharge on R breast after having textured Sientra gel implants removed. (photos)

Mcone12673
April 2015 had Sientra textured gel implants put in. August 11, 2016 both implants were removed due to right breast being larger than the left. I have been back to see my doctor but he has assured me this hole is ok and the foul smelling discharge is not an infection. Much to my surprise as well as the doctor, the left Sientra breast implant was discovered to be ruptured when my implants were being removed. Photo is of the right breast not the left which ruptured. Should I be concerned?
