Asked By:KP Vegas in Las Vegas

I've just found out that I have ruptured silicone breast implants and have silicone outside of the implant shell. I have already scheduled surgery to get them replaced but am concerned because I have a 2 flights of about 4 hours each scheduled before my surgery. Is it safe to fly with a ruptured silicone implant or should I reschedule my flights?
