Breast Implant Durability

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]If you're considering breast augmentation and you're worried about implants and silicone implants in particular leaking, here are some things to understand about implants. First of all, they're very durable. The silicone shell on the outside is extremely strong. You can mash this around, you can twist it around, you can run over it with a car. It's very durable. In case it does leak, well, your body will have formed this natural capsule around the implant to have protected and sealed it from your body.

[00:00:25]So, when it does leak, it leaks inside of this capsule. Lastly, the gel inside the silicone is cohesive.

[00:00:32]I mean, it sticks to itself. Unlike the old implants from the '80s where the gel inside was a little bit runny, this will stick to itself. So, let me make a cut.

[00:00:41]See that silicone bulged out?

[00:00:43]I let go, snaps right back in. That means the gel is sticking to itself. The likelihood of you having a giant silicone mess inside your breast is very low cuz the gel is going to stick to itself and is very easy to get out.
