While there has been a lot of discussion surrounding this topic, it is important to provide you with accurate information. Firstly, it is essential to note that silicone ruptures, although rare, can occur in breast implants. If a rupture does occur, it is typically contained within the implant’s fibrous capsule and does not pose an immediate health risk. However, the presence of a ruptured silicone implant may lead to local inflammation and the formation of scar tissue, which can cause discomfort or changes in breast shape. The link between silicone ruptures and BII remains controversial, as scientific evidence does not conclusively support a direct causal relationship. If you have any specific concerns, I encourage you to discuss them with your plastic surgeon, who can provide personalized guidance based on your unique situation.
