Breast Procedure

Pre Operative Question Answer

Can a silicone rupture cause health problems?

In the case of a silicone rupture in breast implants, while it is generally not associated with serious health risks, it is important to address the issue promptly. Silicone leakage can cause local complications, such as inflammation, pain, and changes in breast appearance, and in rare cases, the silicone gel may migrate to nearby tissues. Regular follow-up with a plastic surgeon and timely assessment of any potential rupture can help minimize the risk of complications and ensure appropriate management if a rupture occurs.
