Absolutely, as a doctor specialized in plastic surgery, I can provide you with the information you seek. A silicone rupture can indeed cause changes in breast sensation. If a silicone implant ruptures, the leaked silicone material can come into contact with the nerves in the breast, potentially leading to altered sensation. This may result in temporary or permanent changes such as increased sensitivity, decreased sensation, or even numbness in the breast or surrounding areas. However, it’s important to note that silicone implant ruptures are relatively rare, and advancements in implant technology have significantly reduced the risk. I encourage you to discuss this potential risk, along with all the benefits and considerations of breast augmentation, with your surgeon during the consultation process.
