Ruptured Implant and Silicone in Lymph Node

A ruptured implant should be replaced at a convenient time for the patient. It is not an emergency and will cause no long term health problems. The silicone will be contained by the capsule that forms around all breast implants.
It is unnecessay to remove lymph nodes if silicone is suspected. Probably everyone in this country has molecular silicone in a lymph node somewhere. Injection needles are lubricated with silicone so anytime you get a medical injection or IV, some silicone is shed into the blood and ultimately filtered through the lymphatics.

The treatment depends on which silicone implant was utlized.
The more cohesive gel impants are quite firm and do not easily spread when ruptured. However, the less cohesive gell implants can diffuse throughout the breasts. This can be quite a mess to clean up. Therefore it is best for you to find and treat these as soon as possible.
