All breast implants will eventually rupture. Studies suggest that silicone implants usually last 7-12 years, but some break during the first few months while others last more than 15 years. In a study conducted by the FDA, a majority of women reported that they experienced at least one broken implant within 11 years.

Can a mammogram rupture breast implants?

An FDA study has suggested that the risk of breast implant rupture can be exacerbated by mammography. Having a mammogram may increase the risk of a rupture earlier in the lifespan of implants, and also the squeezing involved in mammography most likely increases the risk of leakage in implants that are already ruptured. The potential risk of rupture or leakage needs to be carefully weighed against the benefits of mammography by each individual woman.

Could skydiving with a breast implants cause them to ruptur?

No not usually. There would need to be an existing problem where pressure exerted directly on the breast causes a rupture. The pressure required would be extremely painful for a natural breast anyway. Skydiving equipment is designed (harness cheststraps) are designed so the straps go under the breast. The ACT of skydiving will not rupture a breast implant.

Can a breast inplant pop?

Some implants have been known to rupture over time, however you won't find that it has "popped". The likelihood is that you won't even notice that it has happened. Saline implants are made with sterile salt water which will not damage your breast tissue at all - you are more likely to notice a "deflated" look with this type of implant. Silicone gel implants will not seep of leak when they rupture, you are most unlikely to notice anything with this type, except if it is a bad rupture, perhaps a change in shape. Unless an implant is quite old, it is unlikely to rupture at all - The no flying rule is a myth - if an implant ruptures within the first 10 years, most companies will replace them for free, Nagor for example are very good. A surgeon put one of their implants on the table in front of me, not three weeks ago and slammed his fist into it with all his strength. Nothing. Hope this helps!
