Breast Implant Rupture

Breast Implant Rupture

An implant rupture is where a hole appears in the silicone shell. The applies to both saline and silicone breast implants as saline implants also have a silicone shell. Modern silicone elastomer shells are much tougher than with earlier implants and the risk of rupture with modern implants is less likely. If a rupture is to occur it will not necessarily cause damage to the body. Saline implants contain sterile saline (salt water) solution which can be absorbed and disposed of by the body naturally. The only issue is that the implant deflates and will need to be replaced. Depending on the filler used in silicone implants then the silicone may or may not leak out. With cohesive gel implants, the silicone should remain intact and you are unlikely to even know that an implant has ruptured. Occasionally, small lumps of silicone called siliconomas may appear in the breast area when an implant ruptures.
