how do they know if silicone is still in your body?

[Guest guest]

Hello girls,

a question? What is the procedure for proving you have silicone in

your body still. Assuming you've had the explant etc. Lets say they

do a capsulectomy and remove the entire thing. How can thy track

where the silicone is. If you react to a silicone like show

antibiodies to a silicone test that does not mean the silicone is

still in your body, it just means your body has formed an immunity

to it, like a vaccine.

You would think over time that your body would breakdown the

silicone by some way and your body would rid itself of it.

Do these docs and scientist say over time that silicone stays

forever or eventually it leaves.

Where is the proof. I understand if they find it in a tissue

specimen, like a chunk of it stuck to the wall, but just in time,

like the capsule of a gel implant you'd think it would dissipate

over time.
