Deep dives

Ruptured Implants and Health Risks

Ruptured breast implants can interact negatively with body tissues, leading to inflammation and other health issues. If the gel inside the implant leaks, it can cause a reaction in the surrounding tissues, contributing to a condition known as breast implant illness (BII). A recent study highlights that increased levels of a molecule called oxylipin tenholm are found in patients with BII who experience fatigue symptoms. Additionally, older implants may harden due to calcium formation in response to the device, creating potential complications over time.
