What if the capsule bursts under a seat belt during a car accident?

The scar tissue surrounding your implant cannot "burst", although it can tear. If this occurs, pain and distortion of your breast can occur. The implant may not rupture. However, if the implant ruptures, you will see your breast decrease in size dramatically if it is saline filled. A silicone implant rupture takes longer to detect and may require an MRI.

Breast Implant Breakage From a Seat belt / Breast Trauma After AugmentationCapsules can tear
after augmentation, implants can
break with severe trauma although it is unusual. Implants are very strong and don’t break easily. Capular tear can result in pain, bruising and distortion of
the shape of the implant.

If you are concerned re implant rupture the best test is to have a breast MRI and this will identify any leak.
