My right breast has been deeply itching 4 days. Is this a sign of Saline leakage? Thank yoMy implants are at least 15 years old.
Answer: No Usually, a leak doesn't cause itchiness. You could be allergic to something else. If you do have a rupture, then you'd notice the deflation since it generally occurs quickly. I suggest you see your doctor for a physical exam.

Answer: Itching and sign of possible implant rupture.
It is probably more important to assess the breast size as a sign of leakage. I am not aware of leakage causing itching and threfore I think they are unrelated.

Answer: Saline Implant Rupture
You would know if you had leakage of your implants as one would be getting smaller than the other. Itching is not a symptom for leaking, there really is no sign or symptom other can the breast getting smaller.
Hope that helps.

Answer: Itching chest
Itching of the chest is not a sign of a leakage. You may have an allergy to something. Do you have a rash?

Answer: Breast Itching is NOT a sign of Implant Leaking
Itching is NOT a recognized sign of saline breast implant leaking. Diagnosing a leaking saline implant is very easy; the breast goes down as the leaked saline is absorbed by the body and excreted in the urine. With 15 year implants, i would not recommend you do anything, unless they bother you, until one of them deflates.
