mjbrownPopular questions & answers

Although it is possible to rupture a breast implant with a blunt trauma to the chest, it is extremely unlikely. The force required would have very severe consequences to other areas of the body that would also be injured. If such a force was applied to that areathere would be more significant injury concerns than the ruptured breast implants. There are reports that shrapnel from bombs have been stopped by the breast implants. Therefore, breast implants could save your life if you are around bombs.
