Longevity of Breast implants

Barry E. DiBernardo, MD answers: Breast implants - How long should they last?

I read a on this site where someone said they had to get their implants re-done 20-some years later.  I thought that getting breast implants was a one-time thing...is there an "expiration date" on breast implants?  How long do breast implants last?

Breast implants are manufactureded to very high standards. One can not assume though, that they will last your whole life. There is a finite warranty time, but in general, you will most likely not replace them unless there is a problem in the future.
