Answer: Pain in breast 20 years after saline breast augmentation
Ruptured gel implants should be removed as over time the gel can migrate from the implant and capsule and form a siliconoma which is a lump of free silicone surrounded by scar tissue. This does not cause a disease process but may be visible and felt. Saline as stated above.
Thank you for your question and photographs. You currently have an excellent result. I question the wisdom of going larger but of course that is your personal option.However switching from silicon gel breast implants to saline implants especially with a larger size, in my opinion is a bad idea...
I think you'll have to wait for until about 3-4 months after your surgery to assess your results. If you're just 3 weeks after surgery, your breasts have not settled yet.
