Breast Implant Rupture During the Placement: A Rare Case

Abstract

Since Cronin and Gerow began to use a silicone bag filled with silicone gel for breast augmentation, silicone gel breast implants have been widely used for over 50 years. There are several undesirable complications for this procedure. One of them is implant rupture. There are several studies focusing on implant rupture rates. The incidance is changing between %3.1-5.7. We present a case of a 30-year-old patient admitted to our department for bilateral breast augmentation procedure. During the placement of a 240 ml anatomic implant to the left breast, the implant ruptured. We believe that implant rupture during implant placement is a rare entity.
