“Can breast implants rupture?
In Dallas, anything can happen after a breast augmentation. All breast implants are covered by warranty from the company for factory flaws if one were to be detected.
There are two major U.S. companies (Allergan also known as Inamed and fomerly known as McGhan and the second company is Mentor). They both guarantee their product against rupture.
Let me start this entry by stating that these implants are NOT easy to rupture. In fact, you couldn’t rupture one with your hands if you tried (unless you punctured it with something sharp). Moral of the story .. don’t puncture your breast implants.
Many answer this title question with a fairly generic answer: “Yes they can rupture – it doesn’t matter which breast implant company you use (Mentor or Inamed). ”
I kind of like to see numbers and facts to base my decisions on. I’m not sure these are facts because the implant companies are reporting these studies and they have a lot to gain from selling a whole bunch of these. What I am sure of is that this is the best information that we’ve got to date. (Sept 25, 2009).
These are the reported incidences of re-operation, rupture and contracture (when the implants look hardened and sometimes hurt because of dense scar formation).
*Note the differences in years of duration of the studies…
For saline implants:
Allergan at 5 years had a 25.9% Re-operation rate, 11.4% contracture and 6.8% rupture rates.
Mentor at 7 years was 25.3% Re-operation, 10.7% contracture and 16.4% rupture rates.
For Silicone implants
Allergan at 6 years had a 28% re-operation rate, 14.7% contracture and 5.5% rutpure rates.
Mentor had at 3 years a 15.4% re-operation rate, 8.1% contracture, and 0.5% rupture
You can make many conclusions from this but I wouldn’t suggest making your decision on this information alone. Keep it in mind, and refer to it if it comforts you. Once you’ve decided which type of implant to use, you can then look it up on my list and see where you land. I still would only use it as an information reference. Chances are, your implants aren’t going to rupture.
