as a former plastic surgery nurse i've worked with women who have had ruptured breast implants of various types. let me start by reassuring you (and your mom) that even if her implant is the silicone type she is not in imminent danger of poisoning. she should however have her breast evaluated preferably by the implanting surgeon. if she can't see the surgeon who performed her surgery i'd suggest she see a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon. if your mom knows the implant is ruptured because it "deflated " then this is a sign the implant was the saline type. this type of implant is filled with saline solution (basically saltwater) which identical to a substance our bodies produce naturally. when a saline breast implant ruptures the body usually absorbs all the fluid without any problems. it's nearly impossible to tell when a silicone style implant has ruptured. the "gold standard" for diagnosing a ruptured silicone breast implant is an mri scan. this is why your mom should visit a plastic and reconstructive surgeon soon. he or she can evaluate the breast implant and determine the appropriate course of action. rest assured however that a ruptured implant isn't generally considered dangerous.
if a becker breast implant busts is it poisonously lethal? . my mom's implant busted and it was a becker brand she's afraid it might have silicone or something and could kill her.
