I Fell Down Some Stairs Backwards & Sideways, Could I Have Ruptured my Implant?

Have you noticed any change in shape or size of your implants.  Saline implants will deflated pretty quick and you would notice a change in size.  With silicone implants, it would be much harder to tell.  If you have any concerns, you should see your PS and get examined.  May even need an MRI if he cannot tell.

Breast implants are extremely durable devices relative to bursting. Even major trauma is unlikely to cause of implant to fail.

it is unlikely that your implants broke after you fell but anything is possible. If you are having pain and/or swelling in the breast make an appointment with your doctor or Plastic surgeon.

I wouldn't worry, implants are very durable.  Keep an eye on it to see if you notice your breasts changing in any way such as shape, softness, etc.  It might not be a bad idea to get a physical exam and check in with your PS just to rule out any other possible complications.  ac

unlikely will hurt your implant as your back/sides should have taken the brunt of the injury.  If you have saline implants, a rupture would be obvious.  If you have gel implants, if your breasts have not changed in characteristics, its probably fine.  See your surgeon if you wish to get an exam.

WIthout an exam it is difficult to tell you if your implant ruptured. I will say that implants are pretty durable devices.

It is very unlikely that you injured your implants during this fall.  The newer implants, made after 1999 are well constructed.  Most implants are able to withstand 3 times your body weight in force. Two times your body weight in force will cause rib fractures, 3 times your body weight in force can fracture the sternum and cause lung and heart contusions.  If you have any questions then see your plastic surgeon as soon as possible.  Especially if you notice a change in the shape and size of your breasts.  

It is unlikely but not impossible that you could have ruptured the implant. If it was saline, a blunt trauma would typically cause rapid deflation rather than a slow leak.  Silicone implants are unlikely to have been affected by such a fall.  If you have concerns, please see your plastic surgeon in followup.

Assuming that you have silicone gel implants (if you had saline, a rupture would likely be obvious), it would be unlikely that you would have ruptured your implants in a fall. Today's gel implants can take an enormous amount of stress before rupturing, and you would probably injure your tissues before you ruptured your implant.  It is always best to have an evaluation by your surgeon in these instances, and if either of you have any concerns about the implants, an MRI can be obtained.

 I am sorry to hear about the trauma you have sustained after breast augmentation surgery. However, although possible, it is unlikely that this “mechanism”, will have generated enough force to rupture the breast implant. If you have saline breast implants in place, a rupture or leak will become evident in the near future as your breast  implant decreases in size. On the other hand, a silicone gel breast  rupture may not be detectable clinically;  an MRI study would be necessary to definitively rule this out.

 Of course, always best to be seen in person for accurate advice and/or meaningful reassurance.

 Best wishes.
