Known for her sulphurous roles in the 90s’ and 2000s and her impeccable plastic, actress Denise Richards recently made talk of her anatomy: her breast implants. These would have broken up during a shoot. A rare phenomenon, but possible in certain circumstances.
A jump, and two less implants
The 53 -year -old actress participated in season 3 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test ” An intense reality TV, of the military camp type, supervised by real members of the American army. On the menu? Physical and immersive, even dangerous tests. For the show, Denise Richard therefore did not hesitate to set off in a vacuum from a bridge, restrained by a harness … placed on her chest. A jump in which she says she has lost “two soldiers”.
“”I fell – well, I skipped a bridge too, and that’s where I broke my implants “, She revealed in an interview. The actress added that the harness she wore was positioned in a way that caused the break during her jump. An incident that forces it to “redo them again “, But who will not be taken care of by his insurance, she specifies.
Breast implants can break in some (rare) cases
Has this somewhat muscular jumping has really been able to break the actress’s two prostheses? “”It’s possible “evokes Dr. Yaël Berdah, plastic surgeon, “In the case of what is called ‘a trauma with high violence’ “.
According to the specialist, several cases can lead to this type of incident:
- If the implants were placed a long time ago and have signs of wear: “which can promote a break in case of trauma with strong violence “;
- If the ancient implants already had microcoffs: “LE fact of undergoing a strong compression can cause a major leak of silicone frost and therefore visibility of the rupture “;
- Finally, extremely recent implants are supposed to be more resistant. “”Nevertheless it can happen during a violent trauma like a car accident. “
On the other hand, on a daily basis, and without violent trauma, prostheses should not worry you. “”There is no risk, whether we take the plane, or do sport “, reassures the specialist. “”I know many patients who also make parachute jump, or dive, for example this does not expose a risk of rupture. “
Is a rupture an emergency reason?
But what to do when it happens? Is it serious? For the expert, the break in prosthesis is similar to a semi emergency. “”Women must consult and make an imagery assessment to objectify the breakup and seek a silicone gel leak “. The gel is not liquid, however it may have flees in the lymph nodes, which will absorb this silicone, to preserve the rest of the body. “”Normally silicone is inert, nevertheless the body can react it is therefore necessary to repair and clean quickly. In addition, it can induce a shell, a fibrous scar around the implant which will become pathological, thicker and harder, which will distort the breast and induce pain “.
The medical intervention is therefore inevitable.
Finally, the prosthesis can also hide a more urgent problem. “”If it is a trauma, it must be ensured that there are no other associated lesions “, recalls the surgeon. The good news in all of this is that a implant rupture can sometimes protect the victim. “”Maybe in this case, implant rupture protected the actress from a costal rupture for example “. And damaged his fall?
