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!

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" 0%. Rejection is an immunological repsonse and does not happen with silicone, which surfaces most breast implants. There are a range of other potential complication, however. Dr Steve Merten, Sydney, Australia

Answer: Rejecting a silicone implant The body does not really reject an implant. Once the implant is placed inside the breast, the body forms a capsule around the implant which is a normal process. This in a way keeps the implant separated from the breast tissue. If the implant where to become infected for some reason then this might result in the implant needing to come out. In my experience I have never seen the body "reject" an otherwise normal implant. Best of luck!

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.
