What if breast implant rupturing... is partly caused by ill fitting bras?

  • In all my research about implants I have never come across a reference about bra fit causing a rupture. That said, I can see where the idea comes from. Most ruptures are due to the slow wear of the implant rubbing on itself. The friction slowly causes the shell to wear down resulting in a leak. This leak can be a slow leak, or it can be a sudden rupture. The only way I really see this happening is if the bra wire is sitting on the implant itself in the sideboob or gore area. A cup that is too tight and causing quadboob shouldn't cause a problem, nor would a too loose band.

  • thats the thought I got about CocoViolet 's post was that wires sidding on breat tissue at the side or wherever could possibly cause it.. thats what I took the comment to mean- but just my interpretation probably.
