Axillary lipogranuloma mimicking carcinoma metastasis after silicone breast implant rupture: a case report. The advantage of the newer " cohesive gel” silicone implants is that in the event of a leakage the silicone does not spread pass the capsule tissue surrounding the breast implant. … Television ischanging, however, and at the forefront of this change is a newbatch of reality makeover shows. Migration of a ruptured, silicone gel-filled breast implant into sternal and abdominal areas. Silicone gel entering the lymphatics, either through overt implant rupture or slow leakage across the intact outer shell, can result in regional migration to the draining lymph node basins. In humans implanted with silicone gel breast prostheses, a mild foreign body response results in the formation of a collagenous capsule around the prosthesis. 2013 Apr;37(2):278-89. doi: 10.1007/s00266-012-0025-9.

Teuber SS, Ito LK, Anderson M, Gershwin ME. 1980 Jul;66(1):134-6 Silicone gel has been found to migrate into both surrounding and distant tissues as a result of rupture or bleed, with reports of evidence of silicone found in the breast (11), implant capsule (9), axillary lymph nodes (12), arms, fingers, and groin (13, 14), blood (15), and liver (16). Gross migration of silicone gel from ruptured breast implants is a rare event.

Or, if migration were to occur, would it remain just below the tissue? To imply that silicone gel has some animate capability of migrating by intent simply supports the lay view of the evil nature of this stuff. Intra-capsular leakage to the surrounding tissue and circulation is potentially toxic due to the development of cell and humoral response. In some cases, the gel may escape beyond the capsule layer and move into the breast tissue itself (extracapsular rupture and gel migration) or to more distant locations. Interestingly,the … 2014;20:178. Prevention and treatment information (HHS). Since the mid-1990s, the fifth generation of silicone-gel breast implant is made of a high-strength, highly cohesive silicone gel that mostly eliminates the occurrences of filler leakage (“silicone gel bleed”) and of the migration of the silicone filler from the implant pocket to elsewhere in the woman's body.

More importantly, they suffered the consequences of silicone gel migrating down the arm. Once silicone has extruded from an implant, migration of the silicone is primarily to local sites, such as the ipsilateral chest wall and axillary nodes. A study of the local and migratory effects of free silicone gel taken from a mammary prosthesis is reported. In some cases, the gel may escape beyond the capsule layer and go into the breast tissue itself (extracapsular rupture and gel migration) or to more distant locations.

Silicone gel entering the lymphatics, either through overt implant rupture or slow leakage across the intact outer shell, can result in regional migration to the draining lymph node basins [ 1, 2 ]. Answer: Implants and migration of silicone In general, if an implant ruptures, the gel stays within the confines of the breast capsule or jsut outside the capsule. Although many such patients may show evidence of a microscopic granulomatous foreign body reaction upon examination of capsular material at explantation of a prosthesis, it is unusual to have large, palpable granulomas, even in the presence of rupture or leakage.
