Worth It

Spent: $2,500 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Ruptured Silicone implant explanted due to car accident. These implants were put in in1974, 35 years ago, and when I had the roll over car accident, the 3rd day woke up in pain and with redness similar to the photo. That was 04/09/09 and by the time the MRI was done ir was a month of walking around with a ruptured breast.

He's out of the office next week so I wanted to understand what might happen?

Will my body heal with the silicone leakage inside or does it have to come out by cutting it out or is there another procedure that can be done to save the breast?

I had a ruptured silicone implant and had to have surgery because it was huge and painful. That surgery was in 2007. Then shortly after that I had hurting in armpit area. MRI revealed several silicone nodules in armpit. I had surgery finally Jan of this year and seven nodules out and two lymph nodes. After a month later I have more from another MRI so next week I am having them out because they are painful. So, I would advise to have them fixed by a good surgeon. Good Luck.

Hi There, can I ask if you have experienced any other health issues, such as hair loss,aching joints or stiffness in joints first thing in the morning or when being sat in the same position for a period of time? My right silicone implant has ruptured and silicone has leaked into my glands, this happened around 2 years ago, so the silicone is in my body and could be everywhere by now, my main concern is my hair loss which has become more apparent in the last 3 months, I have a replacement booked on 21st January 2012, but I am currently researching into the damage and long term health affects concerned with silicone loose in the body and in the lymph nodes? No-one will tell me what the symptoms or affects of having silicone in the lymph nodes they just say they need to be removed?? I am so scared that this is whats causing the joint pain and hair loss? Many thanks.
