Hi @colleenyoung 😊 Thanks so much for bringing everyone into the conversation. I really appreciate it! Yes, 6 year silicone gel implants for reconstruction....now rupture and possible removal? Not sure what's easier on the body. Replacement or Removal. I would prefer to remove but that sounds like more extensive surgery. I am curious what other ladies did in this situation. Thank you again Colleen!

I had a ruptured silicone implant after 13 years in place. It was leaking and I was unaware. I became suddenly septic and was very ill and did not recover until the implant was removed. Recovery was complicated due to radiated skin. But eventually all was well!
