Breast implants are products placed under the mammary glands or pectoralis major muscle to increase breast size. Breast implants are very durable and can withstand the impact of a car passing over them without breaking.

Breast implants are made from a 3-layer silicone shell and filled with silicone. According to experts, these artificial breast implants can withstand great external forces and will not explode even if a 4-wheeled vehicle runs over them.

Breast implant rupture is a recognized complication of breast implants. It can be intracapsular or extracapsular. Intracapsular rupture occurs when the breast implant shell (inner capsule) ruptures but the fibrous capsule formed by the breast remains intact, preventing the silicone from escaping freely. Extracapsular rupture occurs when the inner capsule ruptures and the outer fibrous capsule is damaged, allowing the silicone to escape freely.
