Implants can rupture due to the pressure of the plates. High pressure, can release amounts of silicone which might migrate into the body, where they can eg. disrupt hormones . Also, a large amount of harmful free radicals are released, which are responsible for aging, DNA damage and cancer.
In women with implants, 55% of tumors are missed compared to 33% in women without implants.
Larger tumors due to delayed diagnosis. Result: increased risk of death.
It is sometimes impossible to perform a mammogram due to severe capsular contracture, rupture or fear and pain.
