how soon should a ruptured silicone implant be removed. I told my doctor about 4 or 5 yrs ago that there was something wrong but he didn't believe me and did nothing. I have now found out my silicone breast implant has ruptured and has probably been leaking for many years. I have had severe headaches for many years and feel fatigued all the time. I feel lightheaded and nauseated all the time also. What is the procedure for removal and how long will i be in the hospital?

Answer: How soon should a silicone ruptured implant be removed? Thank you for the question. In my practice, I prefer to remove the ruptured implant sooner rather than later.Removal of ruptured silicone gel breast implants generally is not an unusual or complicated procedure for most of plastic surgeons who do a lot of breast surgery.What type of procedures you may benefit from after removal of the breast implants will depend on your physical examination and your goals. Sometimes patients choose to have breast implants replaced; sometimes not. In person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be helpful; communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon.Best wishes.
