Of those who received the implants as part of a breast augmentation procedure, only 1.1% experienced ruptures of the implants. For women who received MENTOR® implants as part of a breast reconstruction procedure, ruptures were reported by 3.8% of the women studied. Capsular contraction was reported in less than 10% of women who had breast augmentation and less than 14% of women who had breast reconstruction.
