Mas was arrested at around 7am (7pm NZT) at his home in southern France and police searched the premises.
He will be held for 48 hours while investigators decide whether to charge him with involuntary manslaughter and causing injury.
A second PIP executive, Claude Couty, was also arrested under an investigation opened in the southern port city of Marseille, close to PIP's former premises, on December 8.
Mas, who sold some 300,000 implants around the world, recently spoke out for the first time since the scandal erupted in December, acknowledging that he had used unapproved silicon and scoffing at the idea that it constituted a health risk.
