Asked By:Candice78258 in San Antonio, Texas

Hello, In 2018 I had my silicone implants removed and replaced because one had ruptured. It is documented in my medical records with my Plastic surgeon the rupture. Their office did not send my ruptured implant into the manufacturer. I tried following up with them numerous times and never received a response. I'm trying to find out if Plastic surgeons have repsonsiblities to send in ruptured implants?
