Is there any evidence, scientific or anecdotal, that silastic implants could be affected on long haul flights?

No, from my  knowledge, there doesn't appear to be evidence to prove that silicone implants can be effected by long durtation air travel.  I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Hi there JoanneThere is no evidence anecdotal or scientific that would indicate that breast implants are affected by air travel.This would be something very easy to establish were it related to implantsBest wishesRichard

I have never heard of silastic implants causing problems as you describe. It might be a good idea to have yourself checked out by your internist.

No, there is no evidence of any kind that breast implants are affected by cabin pressure or long flights. Best wishes.

Thanks for the question.  As far as I know, there is no evidence that I am aware of.  Check periodically with your Surgeon.Good luck to you.Frank Rieger M.D.  Tampa Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. There is no evidence that breast implants are affected by changes in cabin pressure during flying
