Implant Rupture: Myth vs Reality

One common misconception is that if a breast implant ruptures, the silicone immediately leaks throughout the body.

While implant rupture is a known risk of breast augmentation, modern silicone gel implants are designed differently from earlier generations. Today’s implants contain a highly cohesive silicone gel, which is intended to hold its shape and remain largely within the implant shell, even if a rupture occurs.

In this video, we compare a common perception of implant rupture with how modern cohesive gel implants are designed to behave.

It’s important to remember that all breast implants have risks and are not lifetime devices.

One of the most common questions we receive is: “How long does recovery from breast augmentation take?”

While every patient’s experience is different, recovery happens in stages. The first few weeks are focused on healing, while swelling, scar maturation and implant settling can continue for several months.

Swipe through for a general overview of what recovery may look like after breast augmentation surgery.

If you’re considering breast augmentation, a consultation with Dr Craig is the best way to discuss your goals, options, risks and recovery expectations.

At first glance, this doesn’t seem possible...

Using a glass bottle, Dr Craig demonstrates how a Keller funnel is used to assist with implant insertion during breast augmentation surgery.

The bottle has no stretch, making it a simple way to visualise how an implant can pass through a relatively small opening only 2-3cm wide.

💡 The Keller funnel is designed to help minimise direct handling of the implant during insertion.
💡 Surgical techniques vary depending on the patient’s anatomy and treatment plan.

Save this for later if you’ve ever wondered how implants are inserted during surgery!

Bilateral breast reduction

A total of 792g removed from the left breast and 897g removed from the right breast. These images show before and after results at 4 months post-op.

At this stage, swelling has mostly settled and scars will continue to mature over time. Final results can take up to 12 months and will vary for each individual.
