 Hi everyone, Dr. Saul here. One of the questions we've been asked is, is it dangerous to have a ruptured implant? Well, that depends how old your implant is and what kind it is. Number one, saline implant, if it's ruptured, is not a big deal because it's saline, it's salt water, you'll absorb it and pee it out. If it's silicone, the silicone implants depends which generation implant you have. The implants we have today are way, way, way different than the implants that were used 20 years ago, 30 years ago. Right now we're in generation four or five of the implants. They are made differently. The ones we use today are called gummy bear implants. Just like when you take a bite out of a gummy bear, you split it, the liquid doesn't come out. The new implants are that. That's why they call them gummy bears because that's how they work. If it gets ripped or if it gets ruptured, the gel is supposed to stay inside the capsule. Now, can the gel migrate? There have been episodes where that has happened but it's far and apart. So you should always have your breasts examined by your surgeon and MRI is the best study. Not ultrasound but at MRI is the best study to get to see if you have a ruptured implant.
