The actual incidence of silicone device bleed or rupture is not known because recent reports only describe rupture rates in selected populations of patients who have had implants removed. The true incidence remains unknown because the cohort without explantation is not included. However, a number of reports document an incidence of implant rupture that correlates directly with the length of implantation.
For example, Duffy and Woods followed patients for a median of 49 months. There were 104 implant failures in 65 patients. With longer periods of follow-up, the incidence of implant rupture increases, with some reports of frequencies of more than 55% after ten to fifteen years after implantation. …
