When I die, are they going to drain my saline breast implants as part of the embalming process?

I *never* cared what they did with my dead body until I thought of this. Does anyone know what is standardly done with breast implants when they prepare your body for burial and/or cremation?

No, your implants would be left as is during the embalming process. If you are autopsied for some reason, then the implants are removed because they make an incision from your shoulder to the nipple, thus forcing the removal or puncturing of the implants. Is has been my experience that the implants (only if autopsied) come back whole in a plastic bag. But if there is not an autopsy, no worries, your implants will be fine! Take care!
Reply:No they leave you the way you are and drain the blood and put embalming fluid but they do nothing to the breast implants. The reason for this is they want to leave you as your family remembered you.
Reply:Ur buried with them as is.
Reply:I don't know...Why don't you call a mortician or funeral home and ask them? Or perhaps call a mortuary school and ask them.





Hahaha...sorry for laughing....just the thought of desiccated body laying in a coffin a few years later with boobs is a funny image!
Reply:I have never cared either...Now, my curiosity is peaked...I have to know now.....Do you have any information on your implant ID cards?
Reply:I wouldn't think they would drain them, I mean, why? They don't pose any threat to anything. But if you wanted to make sure, you could put a section into your living will about how you would like your body to be handled and they are legally bound to abide by that.
