Silicon in lymph nodes?

Becky63 · February 2015

I am 6 mos. out from BMX with skin sparing surgery & immediate Gummy Bear placement. I had a second surgery 2 weeks after that on the left, because the implant migrated up into my neck & underarm. It was wedged. In 1/15, I began to experience pain and loss of ROM in my left arm. I mentioned this to my BS at the 6 mos. recheck. She sent me for PT. I think it's working. The PS also ordered an ultrasound of the left breast at the 6 mos. recheck. It revealed fluid around the implant & two lymph nodes filled with silicon. I got a call yesterday that I need an MRI. Anyone else have this experience? What was the outcome?

I didn't have this experience but I have implants, had an MRI and had some issues with nodes and some doctor mentioned silicone getting into nodes to me at some point. But that's all I can tell you. I am sorry. I am interested to see the responses if you get any.

Trvler, how were your nodes treated?

Not treated at all yet. I have been researching and agonizing over what surgery to have for a few weeks now. But they won't do anything until that, I guess.
