Broke my arm skiing. Should I get implants checked? What symptoms would be if they are leaking? (silicone)
Answer: Accidents and Rupture of Breast Implants If there is no evidence of injury to your breasts like bruising, pain, swelling then it is very unlikely that your implants are injured. See your plastic surgeon to be sure if you have these symptoms.

Answer: Can Ski Accident Rupture Breast Implant? Thank you for the question.Based on the description of the “trauma” and the fact (presumably) that your breast exam remains unchanged, it is very unlikely that any harm was done by the adjustment. In general, it would take significantly more force to cause breast implant rupture. Of course, for real peace of mind direct examination by your plastic surgeon (and possibly MRI study) will be necessary.Best wishes.

Answer: How to Tell if Silicone Gel Breast Implants were damaged in a Ski Accident Breast Implants are quite resilient and will tolerate relatively large compression and decompression forces. With time all implants' shells weaken and eventually will leak. If your implants were older, there would be a higher likelihood of the fall resulting in implant failure. The BEST way to diagnose a leaking silicone gel breast implant failure is with a MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan.
