A member asked:
How can you know if your silicone implants are leaking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRI: Breast MRI is the definitive imaging technique. Ultrasound can also be useful. Mammogram usually less helpful because it can't detect intracapsular rupture and can only sometimes detect extracapsular rupture/leak.
