Answer: Ruptured implant Thank you for your question. There are two types of ruptures for gummy bear implants. The first type of rupture is called an external rupture. This is where the implant shell is torn. The best non surgical technique to diagnose rupture is a MRI. This is a special scan that the patient undergoes. Please note with all tests there are what is called false positives and what is called false negatives. A false postive means that the skin shows rupture but in reality there is none. A false negative means that there is no evidence of rupture but the implant is ruptured. An internal rupture means that the shell is intact but the implant lost its shape. This is more difficult to diagnose. I recommend you go back to your plastic surgeon to be reevaluated. I hope this helps.

Answer: Ruptured Implant? Thank you for your question and photosDiagnosing rupture of silicone gel implants today is extremely difficult if not impossible clinically. Imaging studies, in particular MRI, is the best way to visualize implants and make an accurate diagnosis. From your photos it appears that you have some asymmetry of your lift which may give the appearance that you are concerned about. It is best to see your plastic surgeon so that they can examine you and guide you in the right directionBest of LuckDrG
