Can Vigorous Activity Lead to an Increased Risk of Saline Implant Rupture?

October 13, 2008
Asked By:Leeza in Fresno USA

I've come across articles and Q&A's forums which cited that one of the risks of saline breast implants is rupture or leakage attributed to pressure or excessive force being placed on the chest, mammography or even vigorous love making. Is this true? Has anyone experienced this?
