00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.975
[If you can feel 'this', the implant ruptured?]
When a implant,

2
00:00:00.975 --> 00:00:02.075
a silicone ruptures,

3
00:00:02.075 --> 00:00:06.124
#Regardless of Co-gel, or Saline
the leaked material can travel through the lymphatic system

4
00:00:06.124 --> 00:00:08.674
So one of the proofs of prosthesis damage is

5
00:00:08.674 --> 00:00:09.823
I can feel something in armpit

6
00:00:09.823 --> 00:00:10.623
What that means is

7
00:00:10.623 --> 00:00:12.423
the ruptured silicone has migrated into the armpit

8
00:00:12.423 --> 00:00:13.423
The lymph nodes in the armpit

9
00:00:13.423 --> 00:00:14.123
become noticeably swollen

10
00:00:14.123 --> 00:00:15.323
Normally, you can’t even

11
00:00:15.323 --> 00:00:16.272
see the lymph nodes

12
00:00:16.272 --> 00:00:17.522
Because lymph nodes are small

13
00:00:17.522 --> 00:00:20.222
What if there are problems around here such as inflammation?

14
00:00:20.222 --> 00:00:21.872
[Are part of lymphatic system, blood, and bone marrow]
*The lymph nodes enlarge because they're producing

15
00:00:21.872 --> 00:00:22.921
[Help protect the body from bacteria, viruses]
more lymphocytes to help fight off infections

16
00:00:22.921 --> 00:00:23.871
Then, you can feel it

17
00:00:23.871 --> 00:00:25.271
You feel it then and it hurts then

18
00:00:25.271 --> 00:00:26.271
Anyway, this

19
00:00:26.271 --> 00:00:27.571
is not a toxic substance

20
00:00:27.571 --> 00:00:30.970
So even if there's an implant,
you shouldn't remove the lymph nodes

21
00:00:30.970 --> 00:00:32.820
This is a global conclusion

22
00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:34.570
Because if you remove the lymph nodes,

23
00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:35.769
it can cause lymphedema

24
00:00:35.769 --> 00:00:36.819
and that can lead to swelling in the arm

25
00:00:36.819 --> 00:00:38.219
[Don't remove what matters just because of a harmless substance..]
That's why we say not to remove it

26
00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:39.419
because it's not a toxic substance

27
00:00:39.419 --> 00:00:44.443
