What are my options after breast implant removal if the capsule has been left and silicon is in my lymph nodes?

Asked By:KasiaMajka in United Kingdom

15th of Jan I had breast implant removal surgery. There were an extracapsular rupture and silicone lymphadenopathy in my right armpit. The surgeon didn't take the results under consideration. He just took the impants out leaving the capsules. 4 weeks after the surgery: painkilers, pain in my armpit, my right breast feels hard on one side. I have silicone in 5 lymph glands. But the other doctor wants to wait 3 months. Can the capsule still be removed? What if I decide to remove all 5 lymph nodes?
