Can a patient cause a breast implant to “pop”?

Most implant ruptures don’t happen suddenly or randomly. They usually develop over time. That said, certain patient-related factors can increase stress on an implant and raise the risk of rupture.

Things that can contribute:

Ignoring early warning signs
Hardness, tightness, pain, or shape changes can signal capsular contracture. Delaying evaluation allows pressure to build.

Smoking
Smoking interferes with healing and increases scar tissue formation, which can worsen capsular contracture.

Significant chest trauma
Car accidents, sports injuries, or direct impact to the chest can damage an already stressed implant.

Extreme or repetitive chest strain
Heavy weightlifting or intense chest workouts too soon after surgery can place extra stress on the implant.

Skipping follow-up care
Routine checkups help catch issues early—missing them removes an important safety net.

Waiting too long to address aging implants
Implants aren’t lifetime devices. The longer they’re in place, the higher the risk of failure.

What usually does not cause implants to pop:

Normal exercise after healing

Sleeping positions

Hugging, pressure from daily life, or routine movement

The takeaway
Patients don’t usually “cause” an implant to rupture on their own. Most issues develop slowly and are influenced by both the body’s response and time. Paying attention to changes, avoiding smoking, and maintaining regular follow-up care can significantly reduce risk.

If something feels off, early evaluation matters.

Motiva® Breast Implants: What Makes Them Different?

Motiva® breast implants are designed with advanced technology focused on safety, comfort, and natural-looking results. Unlike traditional implants, Motiva implants feature a smooth surface engineered to reduce friction within the breast pocket, which may support improved long-term outcomes.

These implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that allows the breast to move naturally while maintaining shape. Motiva also incorporates proprietary features such as a barrier layer designed to help reduce gel bleed and an optional microchip (Q Inside Safety Technology™) that allows surgeons to identify implant details non-invasively.

Motiva implants are often chosen by patients seeking a softer feel, a more natural appearance, and a data-driven approach to implant design. As with any breast augmentation, candidacy depends on anatomy, lifestyle, and surgical goals, which is why consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential.

If you’re considering breast augmentation, learning about your implant options is an important first step. A personalized consultation can help determine whether Motiva implants align with your goals and anatomy.

Vaginal PRP: What Is It & Why Are People Talking About It?

Vaginal PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your body’s own growth factors to support tissue health, circulation, and collagen production in the intimate area. This treatment is designed to help with concerns like dryness, sensitivity changes, and overall vaginal wellness—without surgery or hormones.

During treatment, a small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to isolate PRP, and gently administered to targeted areas. Because it uses your own plasma, it’s a natural and personalized approach to intimate rejuvenation.

While results vary, many patients are interested in Vaginal PRP for:
• Intimate wellness + comfort
• Support with tissue quality
• Confidence during everyday activities and intimacy
• A non-surgical, regenerative option

Everyone’s goals and anatomy are different, which is why consultation and education are key.

Before & After: Male Body Contouring

This transformation combines liposuction of the flanks with Magic Tight to the flanks and chest, along with gynecomastia surgery for comprehensive male chest contouring.

Liposuction helps remove stubborn fat in the flank area, creating a more defined waistline. Gynecomastia surgery addresses excess glandular tissue and fat in the male chest, resulting in a flatter, more masculine contour. Magic Tight is used for skin tightening.

When these treatments are thoughtfully combined, the goal is a balanced, natural-looking result that aligns with the patient’s anatomy.

Every result is individualized, and a consultation is essential to determine the safest and most effective treatment plan.

The answer is: Brow Repositioning.

What is Brow Repositioning?

Brow repositioning is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the eyebrows to a more natural position, helping open up the eye area and restore balance to the upper face. As we age, the brows can gradually descend, contributing to hooded eyes, forehead heaviness, and a fatigued appearance.

By addressing the brow position rather than just the eyelids, brow repositioning can create a refreshed look while maintaining natural facial expression. The goal is subtle improvement—not an over-lifted or surprised appearance.

If you’ve been told you “need eyelid surgery” but still feel the issue sits higher on the face, a personalized consultation can help determine whether brow repositioning is the right approach for your anatomy and goals.
