It’s been over 8 months since the surgery, but there’s inflammation, and they said I need to have it removed, wait, and then have revision surgery, so I do feel pretty overwhelmed. I’m also so angry about the way the previous hospital did the surgery and how they handled it, and it feels really daunting that I have to remove it and wait until revision surgery. If I remove the silicone, will it swell a lot like during the first surgery and make it hard to breathe and all that?
