Polypropylene implants absorb water very slowly, about <0.01% in 24 hours. [2] The polypropylene, which is yarn-like, causes irritation to the implant pocket which causes the production of serum which fills the implant pocket on a continual basis. [citation needed] This causes continuous expansion of the breast after surgery. Growth can only be ...
