Breast implant exploded on plane 7 years after silicone injection

Dr. Phan Hiep Loi - Director of a cosmetic hospital in District 8, Ho Chi Minh City confirmed that the hospital is treating Bolero dance goddess Ivy Tran after her breast implants suddenly exploded 7 years after getting silicone injections.

It is known that on October 22, after finishing the tour, Mai Tuong Vy and her colleagues took a flight from Taiwan to Vietnam. While on the plane, the female singer heard strange sounds in her left chest, like it was about to burst.

From that point on, she noticed her left breast was swollen, but thought it might be due to the pressure of the plane. A few days later, when her breast became increasingly swollen and painful, Mai Tuong Vy went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with a ruptured breast implant.

According to Dr. Phan Hiep Loi, when the old breast implant is damaged, it should be surgically removed and a new breast implant can be placed 6-7 months later. However, due to the nature of Tuong Vi's work, after examining the wound, seeing that the possibility of success is very high, the decision was made to place a new breast implant for the female singer.

Mai Tuong Vy shared: "The past 6 days have been like hell for me." Currently, the female singer's spirit has improved a lot after many days of crisis.

Mai Tuong Vy had silicone breast implants 7 years ago for $2,000. Doctor LP (living on Chu Van An Street, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) performed the surgery. When the incident happened, Mai Tuong Vy called doctor LP to inform him.

According to the female singer, Dr. LP initially responded and advised to have an ultrasound to remove the breast implant immediately if an incident occurred. However, when asked to avoid responsibility, this doctor avoided the issue, saying that he had returned to his hometown, no longer practiced because he had cancer, and had lost contact since then.

“I don’t know if my breast is infected, swollen or necrotic inside. I tried to find the doctor who did my breast surgery to intervene but couldn’t find him, so I had to go to another hospital for treatment,” said singer Mai Tuong Vy.

The singer's family went to the previous address the doctor provided in Binh Thanh district, but the cosmetic facility there was no longer there.

Mai Tuong Vy said that she personally thinks the incident was not the fault of the breast implant surgeon but due to poor quality breast implants.

She just wants the doctor to come forward to support in asking the manufacturer to be responsible for the lifetime warranty, as well as to show responsibility towards the patient.

Currently, after a day of surgery to replace the old ruptured breast implant with a new one, singer Mai Tuong Vy’s (stage name Ivy Tran) health has gradually stabilized. The singer’s breasts are now less swollen, quite balanced, and there is no sign of infection.

"The doctor will continue to monitor and closely supervise the patient's condition. In the next 3-4 days, if there are no problems, Mai Tuong Vy will be discharged from the hospital" - Dr. Loi informed.
