What is the danger of having an encapsulation or a leak of silicone implants?

The best way to determine if your silcone implant is leaking is an MRI, and in some cases a high-resolution ultrasound can be used by an experienced operator. If your implants have been in over 8 to 10 years, or of they are older models, or if you have changes in size/shape then I would be suspicious for rupture or leak. Leaking silicone, especially from older devices, can migrate or move through the tissues and is hard to remove. Always best to be on the safe side and have things checked out by a board-certified plastic surgeon.

How would a person know if they had silicone implants and there was a leak and and what would be the danger if there was a leak?
