Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 As reported in the literature, when an implant ruptures, gel may be released from the implant envelope despite the cohesive properties of the gel. If left in place, complications such as enlarged lymph nodes, scar formation, inflammation, silicone granulomas and nodule formation may result. Possible further migration of the silicone gel to other tissue as well as adjacent tissue may occur. A limited preliminary study has been reported to the medical community that in the presence of select bacterial infection at the site of a ruptured implant, extravasated gel may be altered by the bacteria with a resultant decrease in cohesivity of the gel. If true, there is greater potential for distant migration of the gel. Does this mean that gummy bear implants are included??? **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring.
