I had silicone breast implants recently and
think I may have a rupture. Is this dangerous?
Breast implants are sturdy and durable but
they sure can rupture. When a breast implant ruptures, the silicone leaks
around the breast and can cause development of a thick firm scar. This may lead
to pain and asymmetry of the breast. You will definitely
notice a chance in the contour of the breast. Over the years, there has been a
lot of controversy if the ruptured implant can cause cancer or other collagen vascular disorders. Some people
say it does and some say it does not. The best advice is to see your surgeon
and let him decide the next course of action. You can rest assured- managing a
ruptured implant is an expensive undertaking.
