Can Silicone from Breast Implants Melt Inside the Body?

Asked By:eserad in South Carolina

I'm having a Breast Lift with silicone gel Breast implants and am curious about it. They say gummy bear implants don't leak when punctured, but in your body where it is 98.6 degrees can the silicone break down and melt?
