Ruptured implant leaked to lymph nodes

October 29, 2023
Asked By:samo198787 in England, United Kingdom

I had Mentor Round HP co2 siltex silicone implants and full uplift 18 months ago. I recently found a large lump under my armpit. Ultrasound confirmed that my left implant has ruptured and I have silicone laden lymph nodes. For the past 6 weeks I have had an ache in my breast, and area of almost painful sensitivity to one small area and have also felt run down with achy legs. How soon should I be looking at having the implant removed? Is it serious? What could have caused the rupture?
