How Long Do Breast Implants Last?
I have had breast implants for 14 years and I am now developing a large rash under my left breast, and it hurts and I feel alot of air pockets. One doctor told me to replace them every 10 years and another told me you never have to replace them
A: Implants have different lifespans
There is no set time that an Implant will last without rupturing. However, here is what I have observed after 23 years of experience:
- Silicone Implants last longer than Saline Implants. I have seen women with intact Silicone Implants after 25 years. Saline I've seen last as long as 17 years.
- Smooth Surfaced Implants last longer than Textured Surface Implants.
With regards to Implant Replacement, I have 2 suggestions:
- Leave the Implants alone and only replace them if they rupture or deflate.
- If one should rupture close to the end of your warranty period (usually 10 years), I would suggest you replace both and begin another warranty period for both Implants.
