Saline Breast Implants do NOT cause Miscarriage

Saline breast implants are filled from the same IV bags used to infuse saline into millions of people the world over every day. Saline is completely harmless. When a saline implant deflates the sterile saline in it is absorbed by the body and within a few hours excreted into the urine similar to what happens when one drinks a lot of water. There is NO connection between a leaking saline implant and miscarriage. Dr. Aldea

No Relationship between Implants & Miscarriage

It is unfortunate that your girlfriend had a miscarriage 3 weeks after the failure (?leaking) of her saline breast implant.  However, there is no causal effect or relationship.  It was purely coincidental.

Saline implants are filled with IV fluid

It is only IV saline fluid that is in a saline implant.  If the implant deflates, the saline escapes and is absorbed and urinated out a few hours later.  I cannot imagine any connection between this are her unfortunate miscarriage.

Saline implant rupture not likely related to miscarriage.

It is highly unlikely that a ruptured saline implant, in and of itself, would cause or precipitate a miscarriage.

Breast Implants unrelated to miscarriage

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Many women without implants, as you know, have miscarriages.  Saline implants are just filled with harmless salt water, so there is likely no correlation between the implant rupture and the miscarriage.

There is no relation

Saline implants are filled with same saline that is used during the surgery for the intravenous injection . The absorption of the saline will not cause any harm. There are thousands of reasons for the miscarriage .
