Leakage of silicone implants: what happens to the body if a silicone breast implant leaks?

imdoingitforme
What happens to the body/tissues when or if a silicone breast implant, made in approx 1990 leaks, breaks, comes out of the capsule, or somehow gets into the tissues of the body? Would there be any symptoms or way to tell that it was in your body and how long could it go undetected? Has their been studies performed on this and where do you find information? Sorry so many questions we just wanted to know the consequences of leakage/breakage of silicone on the body/tissues. Thank you.
