7 mnths po: I have a clear sticky discharge from one areola. Is it likely my silicone implant ruptured or is infected? (Photos)

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry to hear of your discharge issues.  Though this is not silicone leaking I would contact an ob/gyn to help you heal clinically with appropriate testing to rule out any issues.  Hope this helps.

Hey Jasmine- 
Thanks for sharing your photographs.  Its unlikely that that is free silicone. Generally a capsule forms around the implant and even if it were to rupture it is generally contained within the capsule. That being said there are a number of other possibilities that should be evaluated for based on your skin in that picture.  I would definitely follow up with you plastic surgeon for a follow up exam and any tests that they feel is necessary. If they are having trouble a dermatologist might be a good second line person to see. Id also consider taking out the piercing to eliminate a reaction from the equation.  

Thank you for your question. I am sorry about this healing issues. It is more related to skin than underlying implant. I recommend you to see a dermatologist for evaluation as soon as you can. 

Thank you for submitting your photos.  It is very unlikely that this is leakage from your implants themselves.  Normally your body makes a very nice capsule surrounding the implants even if you had a problem with the implant.  It would be maintained by that capsule.  I see that you have dumbbell shaped rings through your nipples which could lead to the problem.  Less expensive rings like the rings you probably have that aren't pure silver, or 24 Karat gold contain a metal called nickel.  People develop an allergy to this type of jewelry over time and that could be a cause for the skin irritation.  Getting either 24 kt gold or pure silver dumbbells may get rid of the problem.  The second possibility is that of a pituitary adenoma.  This is a gland in your brain that makes your milk let down even if you're not pregnant and can be checked with a simple blood tests for a parathyroid hormone level.  I would certainly start by getting either rid of the dumbbells or using better quality  rings and then see if your skin settles with that.  If it does not, I would see somebody to get a parathormone level tested.  I wish you  the best of luck with this.  I don't feel there is anything likely wrong with your implants. An ultrasound could be done of your breasts to help determine that the implants are indeed ok, but that is not where I would start.
