What is known basically refers to breast implants, and generally states that they are safe and reliable. The specific precautions to be taken are generic and mechanical. There are simple precautions that can be taken to protect the prosthesis(es) from dislocation/breakage, such as not over-tightening shoulder straps or jacket straps, and not using wetsuits or neoprene bodysuits that are too tight. The – actual and common -possibility that inert gas bubbles could form inside the implants, does not appear of considerable importance, since this phenomenon would remain limited to the inside of the implant, and therefore without causing any damage. This applies both to implants made only of silicone, and to saline implants. There is no information of statistic or scientific interest regarding soft tissue fillers, or injectable implants, even if theoretically, there could be the risk of a localized production of bubbles at a different rate from surrounding tissues. However, considering that the filler is injected into the tissue and is free to move in the surrounding areas, it is possible that a gas exchange will take place, with a non predictable although likely limited risk of damage.

Die bekannten Informationen beziehen sich im Wesentlichen auf Brustimplantate und besagen im Allgemeinen, dass sie sicher und zuverlässig sind. Die spezifischen Vorsichtsmaßnahmen sind allgemeiner und mechanischer Natur.

Es gibt einfache Vorsichtsmaßnahmen, die getroffen werden können, um die Prothese(n) vor Verrutschen/Bruch zu schützen, wie z. B. Schulter- oder Jackengurte nicht zu fest zuziehen und keine zu engen Neoprenanzüge zu verwenden.

Die tatsächliche und häufige Möglichkeit, dass sich im Inneren der Implantate Inertgasblasen bilden könnten, scheint nicht von erheblicher Bedeutung zu sein, da dieses Phänomen auf das Innere des Implantats beschränkt bliebe und keine nennenswerten Schäden verursachen würde. Dies gilt sowohl für Implantate, die nur aus Silikon bestehen, als auch für Implantate mit Kochsalzlösung. Es gibt keine statistisch signifikanten Informationen über Weichgewebefüller oder injizierbare Implantate, auch wenn theoretisch das Risiko einer lokalen Blasenbildung mit einer anderen Geschwindigkeit als im umliegenden Gewebe bestehen könnte. Da der Füllstoff jedoch in das Gewebe injiziert wird und sich in den umliegenden Bereichen frei bewegen kann, ist es möglich, dass ein Gasaustausch stattfindet, jedoch ohne nennenswertes Risiko einer Schädigung.
