What causes breast implants to rupture?
The truth is, there are a lot of reasons why breast implants might rupture and not all have been documented. However the FDA has gathered some solid ideas of what causes ruptures to breast implants.
Breast implants can rupture from damage during implantation or during other surgical procedures. When the implant shell folds or wrinkles or there is trauma or other excessive forces to the chest, it can cause the implants to rupture as well. Compression of the breast during mammography has also been known to lead to ruptures.
