Can being tasered rupture under pectoral implants?

Question

Hello, I am a police officer and need to get tasered as part of my certification. I have silicone implants that are under my pectoral muscles. My concern is that the taser causes extremely painful muscle contractions to the entire body. Will the pressure from the contraction effect my implants?

Shlomo Widder, MD · Answer

Dear Nica,   I am not aware of any study or any case reports, regarding your question. However, I would recommend that you ask for  release from the need to have the taser applied to your body, because ,in my opinion,  the intense muscles contraction can cause bleeding in the implants' pocket, which can over time cause significant capsule contracture and deformity of your breasts.    Your breasts augmentation surgery was a big investment in yourself, so the taser exercise is not worth the risk. If your supervisor refuses to release you from the taser experience, contact your surgeon and ask him or her to write a letter to your supervisor  or contact him or her directly in that regard.                    All the best,                                  Dr Widder
