40 year old female with silicone implants

I will go to the question and then scroll back for you.

Excellent. Enter capsular implant rupture

0:19

on the left. Wonderful. I just realization to put up left

0:22

right marker, but you can vaguely see the heart to help you.

0:28

So intercapsular implant roster.

What this was was the linguine sign so

0:33

you can see all these low let these these dark

0:36

lines. This is a silicone bright sequence and you

0:39

can see all of these dark lines here that are black low

0:42

signal lines. And those are causal ingredient

0:45

sign and that is the the silicone capsule that

0:48

has ruptured and now is floating in the

0:51

silicone, but there's no extra capsular rupture because

0:54

the silicone is still contained within the fibrous capsule

0:57

and you really want to when you seen as your capsular rupture look

1:00

really good on all images. Of course, I don't have all

1:03

the images here.

1:04

But you would you would scroll through and be very careful

1:07

to make sure there's no extra extra capsular silicone.
