Saline breast implant rupture, leak or deflation

Saline implants are remarkably durable. I have punctured them with a needle and this still do nto deflate unless squeezed. Repeated folding may cause them to rupture inthe the same way a wire hanger will break when repeatedly folded. If you were to participate in rough sex everyday perhaps your implants would rupture earlier than a person who did not do so. However, they can withstand signifcant amounts of pressure, I can stand on them with a shoe and my full body weight and they... more

Saline Breast Implants for Breast Augmentation Tolerate Rough Sex

Saline breast implants are well made and in fact are usually warrantied for rupture by the manufacture.  Initially it would be extremely hard to break the implant though blunt trauma to them, however over time the shell and valves can become worn and can leak.  If a leak develops pressure will cause the deflation to occur quicker.  We have not seen a rupture develop from rough handling.  Sharp objects are more likely to cause a rupture of the saline breast implant... more
