  The primary advantage of silicone gel breast implants is that they feel more like natural breast tissue and are less likely to show an edge or have rippling. They are also likely longer-lasting. They are recommended for women with less breast tissue. Should a silicone implant develop a pinhole, the gel will most likely stay inside the implant due to the cohesive nature of the gel. Should a larger tear occur, there may be some movement of the gel out of the implant. However, the gel would be contained by the normal thin scar tissue “capsule” that forms around all breast implants including saline implants shortly after implantation. Sometimes a thick scar tissue “capsule” may form around the leaked silicone. A thick capsule however can occur with a saline or silicone implant whether leaked or not leaked. When the leaked implant is discovered, the silicone gel, implant and this thick scar capsule will need to be removed. Some women are concerned about the safety of silicone gel breast implants.  These implants were intensely studied and approved by the FDA. No connection was found between silicone breast implants and cancer, autoimmune disorders, or connective tissue disorders. They were also not found to cause adverse effects to breastfeeding infants. Convinced by the studies showing that they are safe, the FDA approved silicone breast implants in 2006. The The FDA does recommend screening MRI’s of the breast for silicone gel implants. However high resolution ultrasound may be even better for this screening.

• Radiology
  While there is no evidence that breast implants cause breast cancer, they may change the way mammography is done to detect cancer. When you request a routine mammogram, be sure to go to a radiology center where technicians are experienced in the special techniques required to get a reliable x-ray of a breast with an implant. Additional views will be required. Ultrasound examinations may be of benefit in some women with implants to detect breast lumps or to evaluate the implant.
