Implants are meant to withstand all of the same stresses that you can tolerate. They should not limit your physical activity.
Thanks for the interesting question. The altitude and fall itself should not affect your breasts, but the straps and harness could theoretically put stresses on the implant. For example, when we do surgery when someone in the prone position, lying on their face and chest, we protect the breasts and breast implants with chest rolls. Also on occasion I have seen seatbelts cause breast and breast implant trauma in car accidents. Hope that helps.
Your implants are designed to withstand a significant amount of force. However no breast implant is fool proof. If you sustain a significant enough impact to damage your implants, you should worry far more about other serious injuries such as broken bones, head injury, or accidental death. I think your implants are likely to be fine. Best of luck, and be careful.
Thanks for your question. At 6 years out, I do not think that sky diving itself will hurt your implants. They are very strong devices but do have a limited life span. If something has changed, best to check with your surgeon.
If you are careful with landing, sky diving should be safe. Silicone implants have been in space and deep diving and did quite well.
Thank you for the question. No, skydiving (and/or any other type of sport/activity within reason) will not harm your breast implants. Enjoy.
Dear maryjensen, Breast implants contain no latex so they are perfectly safe to use in case of latex allergy. I have had many patients with latex allergies who have undergone breast augmentation surgery without any problems with either saline or silicone gel implants. Good luck with your...

Allergan really does provide lifetime warranties on all of their saline and silicone implants if they rupture or deflate. They will provide a free replacement implant. They also provide a free replacement implant for the opposite breast which means both implants can be replaced at...
