I recently got an xray done by a chiropractor and I noticed my right breast looks different then the left. Does this look like a ruptured breast implant? I have saline breast implants that are about 8 years old.

Answer: Xray The best way to monitor for an implant rupture is with an ultrasound or MRI. This is particularly true for silicone breast implants. It is exceedingly rare for a saline implant to have a rupture and not fully deflate. You would essentially start to notice that your breast will deflate on one side continuously.

Answer: Ruptured saline implants Rupture does not get diagnosed on a plain X-ray. First is a clinical exam that shows one breast smaller than the other since your body will absorb the saline that would have leaked out in a few hours. If the breasts are heavy and clinical exam is heard, then an ultrasound could show an empty implant.
