Previous silicone injection breast patient now requests

January 4, 2009

now requests saline implants to keep her dress up.  The silicone was injected in such a way as to displace the nipple areolar complex on either side very far laterally.  This unfortunately is a serious problem and the placement of implants in the proper location may only cause more deviation.  The patient has been so counselled.   In addition to  very bad fibrosis of the tissues, silcione injections often take a randon and unpredictable walk into tissue planes of least resistance.  This is to be avoided both in the breast and also in my opinion in the hips, where we have seen some real sand bags which don’t look very anatomic.
