Which breast implants are most likely to last a lifetime?

We don't know precise numbers on breast implant survival. Probably about 90% of saline implants will be intact at 10 years. We have no data on the silicone implants since they have been back on the market for only a short time. It is best to figure that you will have to change your implants some day.
