“I was feeling a lot of pain. My left breast became hard, hot and rose. In a hurry, I took antibiotics and had to go to the operating table”, Luiza reported in a statement to the Terra portal.

At the hospital, an ultrasound examination was performed which discovered the ruptured prosthesis. Ambiel was also diagnosed with a urinary infection, which delayed surgery by a few days.

Our report sought out Dr. Rodrigo Mangaravite, who is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, who explained Luiza Ambiel’s case. Understand!

• Is it normal for silicone implants to break?

Yes, silicone implants can rupture, but this is not common, and when it does occur, most of the time it is not an emergency surgery. The newer prostheses (last 15 to 20 years) have a firmer and more resistant coating, in addition to the content being a cohesive silicone gel, it is like jelly, it does not spread.

• How to find out when the prostheses broke?

In the vast majority of cases, when the prosthesis breaks, the patient does not notice it, it is only discovered when she undergoes a routine imaging exam, which will then visualize the problem. In some cases, the patient may notice some symptoms, such as hardening, changes in shape and even pain, but this is not the most common symptom.

• Why does breakup occur?

The main causes of rupture are local trauma, prostheses are quite resistant, but patients who practice a lot of extreme sports or fights and expose the prosthesis to more frequent trauma are more susceptible to rupture. In some cases, a rupture may even occur without a very apparent cause, but it is very rare. When there is a change in shape or hardening in the breast and a rupture is suspected, the surgeon must request an imaging test to confirm the diagnosis.

• Is it necessary to remove the prosthesis after rupture?

Removal of the ruptured implant is indicated, but not always urgently. Then a new surgery must be performed to remove and place another implant. At this point, the patient can still talk to her doctor and choose to enlarge, reduce, lift or make some other modification to the breast, if she deems it necessary and the surgeon agrees.
