Chances That Breast Implant Rejection Will Occur?

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
This is not something that you should worry about. It is very unlikely. Both saline and silicone implants are made of a silicone shell which has been studied in depth and not been shown to cause any allergic reactions inside the body like a piercing which is exposed. There are however certain risks that are associated with any surgery. It is important to understand these before the surgery. There are also conditions that some patients might associate with rejection such as capsular contracture or an infection, but that is not the case.
As long as you are in good health, have a board certified surgeon that you trust, listen to their instructions and information, and communicate any concerns with your surgeon, you should have a successful surgery.
Best regards,
Dr. Speron

Implant
rejection is an immunologic phenomena that has not been described with silicone
breast implants.There has never been an
implantable device studied as extensively as silicone breast implants.In 1990, silicone implants were taken off the
market by the FDA.Since that time,
multiple studies have been performed that have evaluated the safety of liquid
silicone and the silastic implant shell.None of these studies have described implant rejection as a phenomena
associated with breast implant use.

Dear Michelle,
It is an overwhelming response that there is no evidence of implant rejection. There are surgical risks with any surgery and there is an incidence of capsular contracture of 2% to 5 % (this is not rejection).

The chances that your body will reject the implants are highly unlikely, probably far less than 1 in 1000 which is really the potential rate of infection. This would be the most likely cauuse other than tissue attenuation and exposure which are probably even less likely.

Hi there-
Despite the unfortunate experiences you have had when pierced in the past, breast implant rejection does NOT occur. Whether filled with saline or silicone, the shell of the implants is the same- a polymer of highly purified, medical grade silicone.
Silicone is inert- meaning that your body does NOT react to it the way it would react to something that came from another person or another animal. Allergic reactions and rejection of implants therefore simply do not happen in humans.
There are risks to the procedure, as there would be with any other, but rejection is not something you need worry about.

There are complications associated with breast augmentation surgery. Implant rejection is not one of them. Studies have shown that this type of response does not happen to either silicone or saline implants. 
The best studies we have are pre-market approval studies, which were done from 1992 to 2006. These studies provide the best available evidence for implants and associated complications. None of these studies has ever demonstrated that this is a potential complication. Therefore, there is no evidence to support that implant rejection will occur.
Myths about silicone implants are very common. Rejection is one of those unfounded myths.
I hope that answers your question on implant rejection. It’s great that you’re doing this research. I always say that the best patients are informed patients.
You might also want to research your options for breast implants. Choosing the right implant is the number one concern among women considering breast augmentation. Did you know, there’s actually a way to select a implant shape, size, and profile that is perfect for you?
A term that I use with my patients for the perfect implant is the “Pony Implant”.
So what do I mean by “perfect”? Well, a Pony Implant has three qualities to it. First, the implant meets your beauty goals. For example, you want to your breasts to look fuller while still appearing natural.
Second, when you chose your Pony Implant, you walk out of your consultation 100% confident that you’ve chosen the right shape and size for you. In other words, you won’t be second guessing your decision, and you won’t be afraid of having gone too big or too small.
And third, after your procedure, you are thrilled with your results, and say, "I’m so happy. This is exactly what I wanted!"
That’s the Pony Implant. And the great news is that there is a simple process to go about finding yours.
This issue of selecting the right implant is so important when it comes to patient satisfaction or dissatisfaction that, again, I really encourage you to learn more about it.
Thank you for reading and best of luck on your journey!

Breast implants are very safe an have an inert shell. It is very unlikely that your body would reject them.

I think that I may have answered a similar question before on this subject, but implants are inert and are not rejected.

Its is extremely unlikely you will reject a breast implant. Implants have an inert shell. Breast implants are very safe medical devices. This has been proven in a plethora of published studies. But remember, no medical devices last forever. Accepting implants accepts some degree of risk that you will need revision surgery due to an implant related problem in the future. So what are the risks: infection, rupture, malposition, scar tissue formation (capsular contracture), and of course, the need for revision surgery. The good news is that over 24 peer reviewed published studies have shown that implants are safe. They do no increase your risk of any systemic illness or breast cancer. Opting for breast augmentation is a very personal decision. A great site you could get more information from is the official website for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

As the posters have stated at 100% there is no chance from your history for breast implant rejection.Go see boarded Plastic Surgeons in your area to discuss in detail. Good Luck!
