I had a BA almost 5 years ago my right breast due to nerve damage has never regained feeling and is painful. For the last 6 months I have had very bad slimy gooey discharge from my nipples it forms a white with brown crust and they are very itchy. my primary doctor prescribed me amoxicilin as she thought it was a staph infection but here I am 2 weeks later and its the same has not gotten better and leaking still persists. could it be silicone leaking?

Answer: Slimy gooey discharge Dear Angelgirl2688, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Probably not silicon Hi, this is an unusual situation but I think it unlikely to be related to your implants. Most implants have ‘form-stable’ silicon which means it is more like jelly and can not run or leak like a liquid. This means something else in your breast is causing the leakage. If the implants were put in through the nipple it is possible that suture is causing this but otherwise it is breast problem and you should see a breast surgeon to find a cause.Good luck.
