How do Breast Implants Rupture?
How do Breast Implants Rupture?

The two most used breast implants are silicone gel implants and saline implants. Both

of these implants have been approved by the FDA and both are prone to

ruptures. The way that the ruptures occur for each is very different. Saline implants have a valve. During breast augmentation, your surgeon will place an empty silicone envelope in your chest and use the valve to fill it up with saline. If the valve is defective, or breaks, then it will leak. A

mammogram can cause an implant to rupture, especially if the implants

are old or the mammography technician doesnt have experience working

with breast implants. Be sure to notify the technician that you have breast implants and make sure he/she is trained to perform your mammogram.

Do silicone or saline implants cause cancer?

No, breast implants Beverly Hills do not cause breast cancer, but they make it more difficult for doctors to detect breast cancer because they hide tumors. Mammograms

cant see through breast implants, which is why they will miss the

tumors of half of the augmented women who have breast cancer. Only have a mammogram done by a skilled technician who is aware of your breast implants. In addition to being an extra cost, mammograms take longer and will expose you to more radiation each time. According to a study done by the FDA, mammograms can cause implants to rupture.

What should I ask my doctor?

If you are getting breast augmentation Beverly Hills you will need to do a bit of research on the implants and the surgeon. Make sure that your doctor is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Ask your surgeon to show you photographs of patients. If

your plastic surgeon tells you that the breast implants are safe, you

have the right to request a copy any report that studied women with

implants for at least 10 years. Be

sure to ask your doctor for written information about the risks of

breast implant and read it thoroughly before you decide on surgery. Give yourself enough time to gather all the information you need and so you can ask your surgeon questions. If

your doctor says all his patients are happy with their results, ask to

speak with the patients who have had implants for at least 7 years.
