What if the breast implant breaks?

This only happens in very extreme situations – such as car accidents or other situations where there is significant breast trauma. Because saline is non-toxic, there are no life-threatening effects of a broken breast implant.

A. All breast implants will break. They last an average of 7 ½ years. In most cases the implant material(silicone or saline) stays inside the breast capsule. 21% of the time it migrates outside of the capsule and into the body. Silicone can enter your lymph nodes and lungs. Saline breast implants are considered to be the safest.
