What about silicone breast augmentation rupture?
No matter what kind of material, the prosthesis may rupture or leak. There is no lack of news about the rupture of breast augmentation prosthesis in the plastic surgery storm. Everyone will worry about what to do if the breast augmentation prosthesis ruptures. Let's have a look. First, according to the time after augmentation mammoplasty and the materials used in the prosthesis, the performance of the breast prosthesis after rupture is not the same. After the prosthesis filled with physiological saline leaks or ruptures, the morphology of augmentation mammoplasty gradually disappears because the physiological saline is absorbed by the tissue, and only the silicone capsule bag of the prosthesis is left in the separation cavity, so it is not difficult to diagnose the rupture of the prosthesis. The rupture of prosthesis filled with silica gel or pVp material varies according to the time after augmentation mammoplasty. In the early postoperative period, usually within 3 months after the operation, due to the imperfect formation of the capsule around the prosthesis, the prosthesis ruptures at this time, and the capsule may separate and wrap the contents of the ruptured prosthesis, making the breast augmentation irregular, and in severe cases, multiple nodules appear in the local breast. In the late postoperative period, usually more than 3 months after the operation, the capsule around the prosthesis has been completely formed, and most of the contents of the prosthesis rupture are stuck in the capsule around the prosthesis for a period of time, and the shape of breast augmentation can be maintained for a long time, so it is not easy for patients to find the prosthesis rupture. After the prosthesis filled with pVp material ruptures, the lateral breast augmentation will gradually increase and the volume will gradually exceed that of the contralateral breast due to the water absorption of pVp material. Rupture of the prosthesis filled with silica gel can be found by B-ultrasound or X-ray examination under special conditions, and some breast prostheses can also be found by white examination, that is, the ruptured breast prosthesis loses its elasticity and the compressed part is not easy to bounce up during breast augmentation. Second, the prosthesis must be removed if it is broken.
