MRI scan diagnosis of trilucent breast implant rupture.
The authors present the case report of a patient who had undergone a latissimus dorsi breast reconstruction plus Trilucent implant. This patient later presented with discomfort in the breast and an MRI scan diagnosed rupture of the implant and also revealed a fluid level within the implant. These findings were confirmed at exploration and were found to be caused by separation of the contents into a serous layer and a lipid layer.
