My breast implants prematurely ruptured almost 2 years ago but my warranty does not cover surgery to replace the implants (only covers the cost of the implants) and I cant afford to pay for surgery either so they are still inside me, completely empty and they feel like flat hard pieces of plastic and sometimes they get stuck in my rib cage and its hard for me to breathe. My question is: is this something that I should worry about like I have been, am I causing long term damage by leaving them inside for so long? and is there any way I can have them removed at a hospital or somewhere and how, before something serious happens to me, what should I do? I appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Obviously if the implants are having problems or is ruptured, it should be removed to prevent serious complications, consult the same Dr. Who did the implants
