Asked By:sunny2021 in UK

I have had 4 MRIs over the past 9 years to check for rupture to my Allergen textured silicone implants which are 22 years old. A small amount of fluid (8 x 40 mm) has been detected to posterior of the left implant which has mildly increased in the 3 year period between most recent MRI and one performed in 2018. Radiologist report states that the location of the fluid means it is not amenable to image guided aspiration. No ruptures or other symptoms with implants. Should I have implants removed?
