I had saline breast implants 22 years ago. I have regular mammograms but do I need to worry about removing them or some kind of toxicity if left in too long?

Good day! It is difficult to assess without an in person examination so we can only make an assumption. The lumps on your breast may possible be nodules or "granulomas" close to the breast, chest or abdominal wall. The body has a natural response by forming scar tissue around the gel droplets. ...
As a scar specialist, I usually recommend the Plato's Scar Serum for scarring underneath the breast and along the incision line. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Thank you for your question. Discuss this with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, and OBGYN, and they can come up with a plan and time frame. Usually, 2-3 months should be fine, but I would ask your doctors first. I hope this helps.
