Hi,
There is a possibility for the birth control implant to bend or even break.
Even if your implant breaks, don’t have to worry as the implant is still effective even if it is broken.
Also, no mega-dose of hormones will be released into your system from the breakage.
The only concern if an implant breaks it may be a bit more difficult to remove when the time comes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
