- Abstract
This article discusses a method called the "Clinda-Clumper" for removing free silicone after a breast implant rupture. The prevalence of breast implant rupture is discussed, with statistics indicating that rupture is a potential risk for breast implant procedures. The article also explores how to monitor and manage breast implant ruptures, as well as the current options and recommendations for removing free silicone from the breast. The side effects of free silicone from a ruptured breast implant are also addressed. The article concludes by highlighting the efficacy of the clindamycin solution in removing silicone and the need for further studies to determine its mechanism and efficacy compared to other solutions.
