HI Dr, I would like to know that if I might have a rupture or an issue with cohesive gel implants...is it a life or death matter ??? Can you please be honest I don't want to die

Answer: Cohesive gel is not toxic Cohesive gel implants have the issue of "silent rupture". If or when they leak they do not tell you because the gel is not absorbed and you do not change size or shape. It is possible that many women have a leak in their gel implants but it was determined by the FDA that there is not any toxic effect or medical illness that is caused by the implant gel. At this time the best technology for evaluating gel implants is with an MRI.Best WishesDr. Peterson

Answer: Cohesive gel rupture If you have a cohesive gel rupture it is usually not a "life or death matter" but should be addressed sooner rather than later.
