Me and my partner are into rough sex and I wear very tight tops. Are silicone breast implants more or less durable than saline?

Question

Me and my partner are into rough sex and I wear very tight tops so I was wondering, if I get implants, which would be durable enough to withstand all this? Please explain your answer.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

You should be just fine. Breast implants are very durable and meant to withstand significant force/pressure.  In other words, much more significant traumatic force (than encountered during any type of athletic endeavor) would be necessary to cause a rupture. 
 My best advice: careful selection of board-certified plastic surgeon and careful communication of their goals.
Best wishes.

Hello! Thank you for your question! Altitude and pressure have no effect on breast implants, whether saline or silicone. It is safe to travel by air within pressurized cabins or even scuba dive without concern. No further precautions should be taken during these activities. Certainly, discuss any concerns with your surgeon prior. In the same manner, blunt force will unlikely cause rupture. Repeated trauma from the folding io the implant over time is known to be associated with rupture. Obviously, penetrating trauma from sharp objects will also result in rupture. Both saline and silicone implants are very durable and daily activities will likely not cause any increased risk to the integrity of the implant. Hope that thus helps. Best wishes!

The outer shell of both saline and silicone implants are highly durable. Neither implant will withstand a penetrating activities with erotic paraphernalia deeply introduced below the surface of the skin. Other erotic activities are definitely not an issue.

Rough sex and implants are not a problem. Gel and silicone gel last pretty close to each other. Gel implants will probably last a little bit longer but that is not related to the sex. Go for it, but be safe!

Brian C. Reuben, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Overall, the highly cohesive silicone gel implants are more durable than saline.  With routine wear and tear, all implants should have no significant issues.  They type of play you are describing is unlikely to significantly effect either type of implant.Best of luck.
