Help! Fluid around implant with infection: I was admitted to hospital with a severe infection.

ogjflo
I had swelling of my right breast no redness or rash. I've had my under muscle silicone implants for 1 year. They gave me antibiotics and sent me home saying there wasn't enough fluid to drain and risk popping implant. My plastic surgeon advised this does happen sometimes and I should pee out liquid after a few weeks. What are my options here and should I go to a bigger hospital perhaps one in Beverly hills where they probably see more cases?
