It is very rare that saline implants deflate. If it does you will know as the saline from
the implant will be absorbed quickly into your blood stream at no harm to you and one
breast will be much smaller than the other! The implants are very resilient though, as you
can just about literally stand on them on the floor without them bursting. In Dr.
Jacobsen's career he has not had a patient who has ruptured their implant from a fall or a
car accident. Most of the deflations that occur are seemingly random and never are
explained. Breast implants are not considered a lifetime device but can last a life time.
The Mentor Corporation offers a limited lifetime warranties. You will be given a copy of
this warranty at your initial visit. If your implant fails the Mentor Corporation in our
experience has been very good with patients by providing a replacement implant at no
charge to the patient.
