Last week, actress Luana Piovani made headlines due to her ruptured silicone implant. Therefore, I decided to provide you with some information on the subject here. 📝 ⠀ ➡ Changes in shape, loss of consistency, breast asymmetry, and pain may be some of the signs that indicate a ruptured silicone implant. However, often the patient shows no symptoms or clinical signs. ⠀ ➡Despite the silicone gel being cohesive, in some cases of implant rupture, the silicone may have extravasated, and in these cases, the material can even migrate to axillary lymph nodes, causing pain and discomfort. ⠀ ➡During explantation, the surgery to remove the implant, it is recommended to do it en bloc, that is, with the implant inside its capsule, to prevent silicone extravasation into the surgical field. ⠀ ➡It is common for a capsule to form around any material that has been implanted in the body. Often, its complete resection can be difficult due to adherence to muscles and ribs. ⠀ ➡Reconstruction can be performed with or without a new silicone implant and can be done during the same explantation surgery. ⠀ ⚠⚠ Any sign of discomfort, consult your doctor, who will evaluate, through examinations, the need for intervention. Pay attention to your health! 😉 ⠀
