I didn't even know this was a possibility and now I'm soo scared!! What are the factors that contribute? How can it be avoided?
Answer: Breast implant extrusion Dear Tina, Breast implant extrusion is an extremely rare phenomenon, I have not witnessed it in any cosmetic patient. If you are newly post op, avoiding extraneous activity counseled by your surgeon is best, otherwise unless there in an infection component, incisions reach 80% strength at 2 months.

Answer: Avoidance of Breast Implant Extrusion during Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Although breast implant extrusion is a risk of breast augmentation surgery, it is extremely rare; much less of a concern than other potential problems associated with breast implants. Risk factors include very little soft tissue coverage, use of a breast implant that “overwhelms” the overlying soft tissue coverage, infection etc.
Generally, careful selection of plastic surgeon is your best bet; careful attention to detail when it comes to dissection, closure, choice of implant, avoidance of infection etc. all play a role.
I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: Breast implant extrusion is extremely rare.
You really have nothing to worry about. Only an infection will create a situation where the implant would spontaneously extrude. This is extremely rare.

Answer: Breast implant extrusion is rare unless you had breast reconstruction and radiation In some rare situations (aside from irradiated breasts), the skin can thin out and there is very little tissue to support a large implant. Changing to a smaller implant is an option, as is using Alloderm to add support

Answer: How to Avoid Breast Implant Extrusion?
The two biggest factors would be infection and big implants with thin tissue coverage. The best way to avoid it is to follow your Plastic surgeon's advise regarding implant size.
