Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this ruptured implant. I will suggest that you do nothing unless symptoms become very concerning. I will not want to see any surgery at this time without any other reasons.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Will the Silicone get into my bloodstream, or can or will it cause any damage to my body if I don't have surgery? XXXX

Brief Answer:
Silicon cannot get into your bloodstream!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Silicon would not get into your blood stream. Beyond pain and other symptoms, there is nothing else o worry about. Let your symptoms be the sole guide to surgery and not any other fears.

I wish you well.
