Breast rash and silicone breast implants

I agree with Dr Pousti, although the rash on your breast may be benign one can't rule out a more serious situation without a clinical exam. If the rash persists a small biopsy may be required to make the diagnosis. With regard to your silicone gel implants, if they have been in for 34 years, there is a significant chance that they may be ruptured or leaking. An MRI scan should be done and if the implants are leaking they should be removed and/or replaced. more

Concerned about Rash on Breast?

Thank you for the question. I think you will be best served by clinical evaluation by a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. Otherwise it is not possible to give you a precise diagnosis of the “rash”. MRI evaluation of the 34-year-old silicone breast implants is also indicated. Otherwise it may not be possible to rule out a “silent leakage” of the silicone gel breast implants. Best wishes.
