Removing Silicone Breast Injections and Get Implants After?

Silicone nodularity after silicone breast injections is described in the literature. Most of these nodules should be assessed to rule out tumors or granuloma. ;There are several ways to remove the individual nodules, but this requires the expertise of a surgeon who is familiar with these techniques. We remove liquid silicone injections and granulomas from the soft tissue and have had great results.

There is no easy solution to the problem.
If the silicone can be localized than it can be excised. However, this is unlikely. Unfortunately the silicone is a thick gummy like substance that is difficult to remove when injected. This is very different from breast implants that generally contain the vast majority of the silicone when ruptured. Also the silicone in current breast implants is very thick and generally stays together as a mass..
It occasionally forms a cyst which can be excised but more likely it spreads through the tissues and becomes almost indistiguishable from the breast tissue.
The only effective way to remove all the silicone may be to get a subcutaneous mastectomy and no one really wants to do this for benign desease. This is the reason, you may find it difficult to find a surgeon to perform the procedure. After this, you would essentially need a reconstructive procedure to restore the shape of the breast.
