Will a "Ideal" brand saline implant flatten right away if ruptured?

RSMember17076Jan 8, 2022
I had breast surgery 3 years ago. I was recently in a bad car accident, went to the hospital, they did several scans & informed me both implants were ruptured. They have images & i have the note saying from the hospital. They told me it was an emergency rupture. My plastic surgeon said because my implants weren't completely flattened, he does not feel comfortable with revision. Does this seem right? How long until pin hole ruptures flatten implant?

Good morning, Neither is really wrong, they are just different. On your higher side the capsule is probably a little tighter, holding it in place. CC? Maybe- but mild.

You do have tuberous breasts. Fixing them depends on what you feel like the issue is. The most common treatment tends to be reduction of the size of the areola and placement of an implant.

Typically, nipple sensation will return by the 12 month mark, but it can take up to 2 years for sensation to fully return. There is increased risk when you have a lift along with the augmentation. Unfortunately, there aren’t any procedures that will bring back sensation if it doesn’t come bac...

Although I have my patients use silicone gel/strips after surgery, nothing beats good surgical technique. Individual bodily healing properties are different and unpredictable, so going to a surgeon who uses the best technique will beat the effects of any product, without question.
