Is it possible to prevent breast
implants from rupturing, rippling, or wrinkling?
In an absolute sense, No.
Breast implants can rupture, wrinkle, or ripple by no fault of the
patients. There are however things that can minimal risks. In general, I do not
feel that there is much the patient can do to reduce the risks of rupturing
because the implants are very resilient. The patients worry about whether their
implant will hold up to activities of daily living and they do. A rupture can
happen. At eleven years, 92% of the implants are intact so I do not feel that
it is a very high risk.
In terms of reducing wrinkling and rippling, the most important
thing is picking an implant that is not too big for your tissues. This is a
relative volume. This is influenced heavily on the amount of breast tissue a
lady has as well as the quality of her tissues. This is the sort of thing that
we were able to make recommendations on based on a physical exam as well as her
implant sizing.
