I've read that sometimes the body will try to push out the implant? How true is this?
Answer: Implant rejection A patient's body will never "reject" an implant and try to push it out. Infection rates are extremely low, in the neighborhood of 1%. And capsular contracture, a separate issue altogether, should be low as well, though the reports in the literature very widely on this. Discuss this in greater detail with your plastic surgeon.Best of luck! Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: Are silicone implants ever rejected? Silicone breast implants are not rejected by the human body. A small percentage of patients may have a complication such as a capsular contracture or infection, but that is a different condition.

Answer: Breast implant rejection Dear Samantha.A,"Rejection" is sort of a generalized term that is used when we, as physicians, speak to the non medical community. When referring to breast implants, it is usually the consequence of an implant infection, or incision infection that results in the implant becoming exposed and needing to be removed. Implant infection rates are less than 1%. Good luck!

Answer: Breast implants do not get "rejected" Silicone is an immunolgically inert element which basically means that is can not get rejected by the body. That is why is is used as the material for many types of implant devises. However, infection is a rare possibility with any object implanted in the body including breast implants. If that happens and the implant itself gets contaminated and infected for some reason, the body will react to the infection and different problems may occur that may eventually result in the need to remove and exchange the implant.

Answer: What is the percentage of someone's body rejecting a silicone breast implant? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Once placed into a woman's chest any implant, saline or silicone, becomes wrapped in scar tissue placed there by her own body. This prevents the patient's immune system from "rejecting" the implant. There can be issues where the implant does not heal appropriately, such as an infection, but thankfully this is quite rare. Hope this helps.
