Hi, I'm concerned about fluid surrounding textured implants with capsular contracture and small seroma. I got Allergan silicone breast textured implants done in January 2016. I started to feel hardness, swelling and pain in my right breast in Nov 2017. I am currently in Sydney, Australia and got the implants done in my home country India. My recent MRI report states 10ml fluid on LBI and 2ml fluid surrounding RBI, with small seroma and contracture with extra fold. I recently came to know of BIA ALCL, there has been history of cancer in my mum's family. PLS recommend best course of action. Thanks
