I heard a web report of bacterial or fungal growth in a saline implant. Can this happen with mentor silicone breast implants?
Answer: Fungi in Saline and Silicone Implants? Yes in saline, it has been reported in the Plastic Surgery literature. Though unlikely in silicone implants, the thought of 'never say never' applies.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast implant complications Infection is exceedingly rare in breast augmentation. If you add to it a rare microorganism then the math becomes less and less likely. Once an implant is exposed to infection it must come out. They are rarely salvageable but fortunately an exceedingly unusual event.

Answer: Bacteria or fungus can grow in contaminated saline implants The saline we put in the saline implant is sterile and we use a close technique to fill the implant. We try to handle the implant as little as possible to prevent contamination
