What are some of the unestablished consequences of implant rupture?
Problems not specific to silicone breast implant rupture include breast hardness, a change in breast shape or size, and breast pain. Gel migration has also been infrequently reported to areas far removed from the breast like the underarm, abdominal wall, arm, groin, and chest wall. Inflammation around nerves, granuloma and scar formation have been associated with this. Silicone migration has also been rarely reported to lymph nodes, in absence of rupture.
