Which breast implants are most likely to last a lifetime?

Although current breast implants are more durable than implants from 20+ years ago, they cannot be said to last a lifetime.

Every patient who has breast surgery should be told that it is likely they will have other breast surgery in the future whether it be an implant-related issue or a soft tissue change.
