I'm 56 years old, should I remove my breast implants before I'm too old?

Asked By:2014Anna in Boston, MA

I'm 56 and have no problems w my 16 year old 660 cc under muscle saline implants but I know they aren’t a lifetime product. Would I be smart to remove them before 60 and before I get too old and surgery is riskier? Also, I'm finding them too big now. Thank you.
