Hello dear,
It is already four years after the incident.If it is not causing problems like recurrent pain/infection,she need not worry.Sterile foreign bodies not causing hypersensitivity reactions, are well kept protected inside our body with out causing trouble.It just need nothing.Only if it causes recurrent problems,we need to interfere.Else,surgery will do bad than good.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
