I was curious about the potential for perforations and asked Dr. Clavell. He told me that there's no reason to be concerned, it would take something like a 300lb partner bouncing on you, slipping out, and having all of their weight coming down directly on the implant. Essentially, it would take an extreme, violent amount of pressure to cause the implants to be forced backwards and cause a perforation.
