Saline implant shells - moved/travelled in my body? Terrified

Timberoni
I had saline taken out of my breast implants via syringe at an in office appt. w/a plastic surgeon. I gained a lot of weight due to medication & my back & neck were suffering & i couldn't afford surgery. I just met with a plastic surgeon & during the exam she couldn't feel/find my breast implant shells. I had been able to feel the squishy shells on my own. However, since she mentioned it, I cannot find/feel them either. She is going to order ultrasound to locate. TERRIFIED!! Expert thoughts???
