Amy Winehouse Breast Implant Leak: Why It Happened?

Of course, all breast implants can and eventually will leak over time. They may last 13-15 years but all need to be replaced sometime in the future. SALINE IMPLANTS will automatically tell you when they leak as the breast will deflate so the patient will know almost immediately. Fortunately , this is relatively uncommon as the reported deflation rate is less than 1 % per year and in my experience, it is much less.
This is not the case for SILICONE IMPLANTS as you will not know when they leak or rupture and the is the major challenge of all silicone implants long term. That is why as silicone implants get older, in my opinion, after 8-10 years, we need to moniter these implants closely thereafter using either a breast coil MRI . The key is to monitor your patients with all types of implants closely and follow them annually

There are many facts about Amy Winehouse of which we are not aware that easily could have contributed to the condition you describe.
If you are not in the best of health, consume tobacco, have an eating disorder with possible malnutrition, partake of recreational drugs as well as possible IV drug abuse, then I would recommend that you avoid breast implants because your lifestyle would likely compromise or complicate the normal post-operative results.

From the descriptions of Amy's condition, it sounds like she had leaking from her surgical incision rather than leaking from her implant. This is known as wound dehiscence and occurs very rarely. Things that would contribute to this occurence include smoking, insertion of implants that are too large for the skin envelope, and infection. Her implants are certainly too large. She probably smokes and she may or may not have developed an infection of the implant. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon can help determine what your personal risk would be. Good luck!
