Question 1

can the implant snap?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but rarely!: Implants rarely snap/break but with poor product design it can happen.  Recently, one well known implant company had a significant number of implant fractures where the implant attaches to the crown or denture.  It is this area that is the weakest part of the implant.  I don&#x27;t ever recall seeing or hearing about the body of an implant fracturing.

Need further surgery: The dented appearance is temporary especially if you and your plastic surgeon had discussed replacement of implants at a later date or getting a modified breast lift procedure in the future.

Question 10

are butt implants safer than butt injections?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Gluteal implants are safer than injected substances but not safer than fat transfers.   Butt injections are not approved in the unites states.  That means if you are getting them, it is by an unlicensed practitioner.  Every year in my area there are one or two deaths due to butt injections.
