Silicone breast augmentation is made from a multi-layer silicone shell and is filled with silicone. According to experts, this artificial breast implant can withstand a great deal of external force, not even exploding even when a 4-wheeler is inserted. The shell of the breast implant is a flexible, tough synthetic material, inside is a thick gel-like silicone, very durable and almost unaffected by pressure or normal impacts.
In the absence of technical defects, the bag will only break under strong pressure after being punctured by a sharp object during technical manipulation, an accident or due to wear and tear in the folds of the bag cover. .
In addition, the inside of the breast implant is silicone, so even in the event that the breast implant is broken, the gel will slowly leak out, without the phenomenon of exploding or being torn off like many people understand.
Broken breast implants will crack, tear and gel slowly over many months, without rushing or making a sound. The gel also flows very slowly and little, located in the dissection cavity, does not cause bleeding.

Due to time and prolonged trauma : In case the breast implant is left in the chest for a long time, the body's capsular contracture squeezes and deforms it, creating wrinkles. folds, the folds deepen over time and can tear, causing the silicone to leak out. This is called Late Seroma Syndrome. The rate of this syndrome is from 0.88 to 1.2%. Currently, there are 12 cases of breast implant rupture due to late compartment syndrome.
Due to technique: The movement of inserting the breast bag is rough, the surgical technique of removing the bag is not correct, the manipulation of sharp instruments that cause injury to the bag during surgery can also be the cause of the rupture of the breast bag.
3. Breasts after lifting will last forever?

If the sea salt breast implant is damaged, you will feel it immediately because the breasts will often sag. But with silicone breast implants, it is difficult to immediately recognize this condition. Since the latest generation silicone breast implants are structurally very stable, that means that even when cutting the implant with scissors, it will still have the same stable shape as before.
Therefore, the limitation of this is that if your implant is damaged, it will be difficult for you to recognize. Therefore, experts recommend that women using silicone breast implants have regular check-ups for checkups.
