A surgeon has revealed what the inside of a pair of 35-year-old breast implants look like with TikTok users mistaking the set for “jelly donuts".

Dr Nicole Castellese, 47, is a double-board certified surgeon who has her own practice in Tulsa, called The Institute for Beauty, Wellness & Regenerative Medicine.

Despite having been a doctor for decades, even the doctor was shocked with a recent discovery after performing an explant on a patient.

Taking to Tiktok (@withdrnicole), she showed a pair of ruptured implants with her 12,400 followers, with the clip having racked up over 4.8 million views and 105,000 likes so far.

“Patient with 35+ year old implants. The capsule had hardened and calcified. A plastic surgeon in the 90s recommended she keep them," she captioned the video.

In the clip, Dr Castellese shows two implants that have hardened over time and burst, oozing out a gooey silicone substance.

As she rolls them around, the sticky substance continues to ooze out of the burst sacks.

TikTok users were quick to share their opinions of what the implants reminded them of – with everything from "apple turnover" to "jelly-filled doughnuts" making the cut.

“I thought that was a jelly-filled donut for a sec,” commented one person.

“So we really all saw bread or some sort of baked good at first,” said one user.

“Why did I think it was school food,” added someone else.”

“Forbidden slime,” added another person.

“I thought this was an apple turnover. Should have had dessert after dinner," wrote a fifth viewer.

Speaking to Needtoknow.online, Dr Castellese said: “[I do] quite a lot of explants (breast implant removal) due to patient demand and subsequent patient satisfaction which leads to more and more patients.

“The patient who had the ruptured implants on the TikTok is a 65-year-old woman who had her implants placed in 1985.

“She had a mammogram over a year before coming to me, which suggested one of her implants was ruptured.

“In her case, she didn't receive the best medical advice regarding the implant removal and financial coverage for the surgery was another factor contributing to her delay in treatment.

“After seeing her and reviewing her history and goals, we were able to schedule her for breast implant removal, capsulectomy, mastopexy and drain placement."

“When asked how people had reacted to the shocking rupture, Dr Castellese added: There was a lot of confusion and shock over the ruptured implant.

“Most people thought it was food.... jelly donuts, biscuits and chicken were popular guesses.

“Since breast implants are a foreign body, our body responds by walling off the implant with a layer of scar tissue.

“The scar tissue around the implant is referred to as a capsule.

"This is not unique to breast implants. People with pacemakers or prosthetic joints have capsules around those too.

“If a silicone implant ruptures, the rupture is typically contained within the capsule, but it is possible for it to go beyond the capsule and therefore, once a rupture is identified, the implant should be removed.

“This is different from saline implants because if those rupture, the breast deflates alerting the patient to the problem."

The doctor followed up with a video replying to people's questions.

In the clip, she explains why silicone implants should not be kept in for longer than 10 years and encouraged people with older implants to consider screening.
