    Default Shrinking Implants?

    I swear theyre getting smaller. They used to have 0 ripples. Now if I lean forward I can feel ripples in the sides (cant see, just feel) They look smaller. I know that usually its just perception - that you just get used to them but I swear theyre shrinking! Do implants leak over time? Ive had mine a little over 3 years.... anyone know?

    Yes,implants can develop slow leaks over time.Get them checked by your doc as soon as you can.It's not a life or death situation,but get them checked soon.

    When saline implants leak or rupture,the saline solution gets absorbed into the body and all is left is the shell to extract.When silicone leaks or ruptures,it's still free flowing inside the body and that's quite a task to extract.That has to be fixed quickly.

    Yes she is right! The Silicone liquid if left in is daugerous. It also can bring out some gentic dieases.

    The studies that originally "proved" that silicone can cause/precipitate autoimmune disorders couldn't be replicated, from what I've heard. When they made it double-blind (so that the person who was interpreting the medical tests didn't know who was exposed to silicone and who wasn't), there wasn't a correlation between silicone and autoimmune diseases/cancers/etc.

    Still, your body can't absorb silicone, and it isn't healthy to have pockets of it floating around. Get it checked out as soon as you can, but don't panic -- you're probably fine.

    Yes, implants leak. If it's saline, like OTB said, it'll get absorbed...but you may need medical attention anyways. If it's silicone, it'll set into your joints. There is no "extracting" silicone out of the body. Don't know which you have, but you need to go get it fixed.

    the original study which found that liquid silicone in direct contact with body tissue supposedly caused auto-immune disorders was not backed up by french and british studies done at the same time, and has been refuted by many other studies performed since. However, while it took the USFDA something like 15 years to finally admit that they jumped to conclusions, they finally rescinded the US silicone implant ban for first time BA patients.

    Other interesting facts ... every bag type implant's outer shell is made of SILICONE RUBBER, whether the inside happens to be filled with saline solution or silicone liquid or silicone gel. If a saline implant bag leaks, the saline solution is reabsorbed by the body such that the only negative side effect is 'peeing your brains out' for a couple of days. If a silicone gel implant bag leaks, the gelled silicone is so viscous that it will not flow very far out of the bag. If a silicone liquid implant bag leaks, then yes the liquid silicone can flow through the body tissues and create a 'mess' which is surgically difficult to 'clean up after'.

    The primary mechanism by which implant bags develop leaks is repeated folding at the same place, much like folding a piece of paper in the same spot over and over again. Being filled with saline solution accelerates the process because, as anybody who swims in the ocean can tell you, salt water is abrasive. On the other hand, silicone liquid is a lubricant. Thus the typical time period where an average girl needs to worry about her implants starting to fail is 10 years for saline vs 20 years for silicone. But if you're not an average girl, i.e. if you do upper body strength moves like pole work or working out on a constant basis thus racking up more 'mileage' on your implants, you may need to worry quite a bit sooner than 10 years.

    Another interesting fact is that silicone rubber implant bags are not a 100% barrier .. in fact they are designed such that pure water can flow through the microscopic pores in the bag while saline (salt) cannot. If you leave an 'uninstalled' saline implant on a shelf for a year, you'll come back and find a shriveled up bag filled with hard salt crystals ! This means that the 'size' of a saline implant is affected to some degree by the concentration of salt originally put inside the implant bag as part of the saline solution versus the natural concentration of salt in the girl's body. Thus going on a low salt diet, or going on a Margarita binge, can affect the size of your breast implants !

    but would they leak at the same rate? I thought the way to tell was if they were different sizes.

    That's why a lot of doctors "overfill" implants to avoid these stress folds.My doctor overfilled mine by 150 cc's and it's been eight years and no ripples.

    i dont have ripples but my boobs do appear smaller. both of them not one. so i dont think that would be a slow leak. i guess maybe the skin losing elasticity makes them appear smaller.. all i have to do is look at pictures from a few years ago and there IS a diffrence.

    Maybe you have just lost a little weight and your natural breast tissue has gotten smaller. Less breast tissue will make it easier to feel any ripples.

    I posted some links in page 1 of THE LIST in The Body Buisness section.

    I read somewhere (maybe here?) that saline implants leek about a teaspoon of fluid a year.

    If you haven't altered your lifestyle and way of doing things then this may be true.I have completely altered my way of doing things such as,I NEVER sleep on my stomach anymore and don't do any rigorous activity involving my chest at all.Ever since I got mine,I have been babying them.

    is it true that overfilling increases the chance of rupture and hardness, or is that only if they're way overfilled?

    It is only when they are overfilled past the manufacturer's suggestions.

    I havent lost weight. Fluctuate (sp?) about 5 lbs but nothing drastic

    I do sleep on my stomach - ??

    OTB - you posted on another thread about pole tricks leading to leaks? I do pole tricks...

    I think Pam posted about them leaking a bit every year? Dunno where she found this info.

    They are saline so Im not too worried... more curious.

    Thanks girls!

    My doctor said implants can leak and it's good to get a checkup for problems within four years and every year after. Some people sail through without having to replace them but not everybody. Pam Anderson actually had a slow leak some years ago.

    Audrey,if you do pole tricks in which you utilize your chest muscles a lot and your implants are place seb-pectoral,you do run the risk of wearing down the implants a lot faster.
