Breast implant removal
Explant is the popular name given to silicone implant removal surgery. It is also known by other names such as: implant removal, silicone explant, implant removal, silicone implant removal, breast explant, silicone explant. The most appropriate term is "Surgical removal of silicone breast implants".
It can be performed for aesthetic reasons or complications reported by patients. In this case, symptoms related to fatigue, hair loss, insomnia, and joint pain may indicate ASIA syndrome, but these are also indications present in other diseases.
It is also important to mention silicone illness, a somewhat broad and generic term that could relate to all diseases associated with the presence of a foreign material like silicone in the body, but which can also be related to its extravasation and contamination of the body.
Breast explantation is the popular name for surgery to remove silicone implants. It can be performed for aesthetic reasons, but it has been widely performed for patients who experience complications related to silicone implants. What are these complications? There has been much discussion about silicone illness and ASIA Syndrome. Silicone illness is a more generic term that can encompass all complications related to silicone implants, although some relate it only to the toxicity of silicone that extravasates from the implant without it being ruptured; this situation is called bleeding. I think it's important to remember that it is common for a capsule to form around any implanted material. In the case of breast implants, this capsule can become hardened, with visible deformity, and even cause pain. Although rare, there is even a lymphoma related to breast implants, and in this case, the surgery to treat the disease is the en bloc removal of the implant, meaning the intact implant within its capsule. Ruptured implants can have silicone migrated to the lymph nodes in the armpit, causing pain, discomfort, and even impairing lymphatic drainage of the breast and arms. There is a Syndrome, called ASIA, in which silicone implants act as a trigger to develop signs and symptoms similar to rheumatological diseases, such as joint pain, body aches, fatigue, sleep disturbances, hair loss, dry eyes, dry mouth, and others. To place a breast implant, the surgeon must be honest and explain these risks, and the patient must have the maturity to make this choice. #breast #mammoplasty #mastopexy #breastreconstruction #breastcancer #breastimplant #breastimplant #siliconeimplant #siliconeimplant #mastopexywithimplant #breastgraft #explant #breastexplant #plasticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #health #wellbeing
