Dr James Romanelli , a board certified plastic surgeon practicing in Huntington, New York,  illustrates how the various implant types reacts to tears and ruptures.

The modern “gummy bear” or solid, high-cohesive, form-stable implants is in preliminary stages in the United States but have been widely use in other parts of the world since more than 10 years ago.  It has shown to be significantly safer and with better efficacy over the older implants which has lower rates of capsular contracture  and rupture.”

Witness how, even as it was cut into half, the modern implant ( Natrelle implant) maintains its form and do not leak. It looks impressive… but only time will tell if these implants, when ruptured, will not have any detrimental side effects or harm our body over time.
