The Dangers Of Silicone And Saline Breast Implants
The Dangers Of Silicone And Saline Breast Implants
While Hollywood stars are parading our screens with enhanced breasts there are often substantial dangers with breast implant surgery. This article will discuss the dangers of breast implants.
Reports have shown that 3 percent of women who undertake the procedure actually have a leak within 3 years which then causes a deflated implant.
There are two kinds of implants – saline and silicone. Saline is filled with salt water and, generally speaking, there are little dangers with one of these leaking.
However, the initial kind of surgery involved silicone gel and there are considerable dangers if one of these leaks into the body. One, it can remain undetected for a substantial period of time. Secondly, the gel may leak through the lymphatic system to other parts of a woman’s body.
As a result, surgery may be necessary.
Further, if the gel has travelled to other parts of the body it can be extremely difficult to remove all of the silicone. Also, some people have suggested that a leakage can also lead to connective tissue disorders.
The Causes Of Leakage Or Deflation
- the implant being overfilled or underfilled with saline
- closed capsulotomy
- stress and trauma
- excessive compression during imaging when having a mammography
- breast injury
- general wear and tear of the implant
A study was conducted by the FDA in Birmingham, Alabama and the subjects were women who had their first procedure prior to 1988.
344 women received an MRI exam. Two of the three radiologists agreed that 55 percent were, in fact, ruptured.
Common Complications
One of the most frequent complications is capsular contracture which involves the scar tissue tightening around the breast.
