What Needs To Be Done For Leaking Breast Implant?
Question: Was in hospital four weeks ago ( for small intestine blockage, scar tissue) dr did chest exray and there is something ,it is the left breast implant that is leaking,? Do I worry, .
Brief Answer:
I suggest an MRI confirmation of rupture
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have taken note of your query and I have understood it.
I suggest an MRI scan to confirm if it is a rupture.
If it was a silicone implant it would be advisable to get it removed.
The longer the silicone is allowed to leak into the body, the more time it has to migrate to other parts of your body.
Regards
