Hi, as you describe the implant is to be removed 4 months back, and you didn't get it removed, some implants may not show any side effects, but some will have side effects after expiry.
So i advise you to consult your doctor, and if he feels necessory you can get it removed, you may not need prolonged hospitalization for this.
Thank you.
