How will the implants last
We know that silicone is a stable material over many years. The implants are solid and therefore cannot rupture, so unless a major trauma was to displace them or an infection would develop there, they are expected to remain for the duration of the patient's life.

How Long Do Butt Implants Last or When to Replace?
The advantage of buttock implants over breast implants is that most patients don't ever need to worry about replacement - butt implants are made of more solid silicone (though some new ones still maintain a nice squishy feel like a firm but still natural buttock!), so there aren't the same issues as for breasts - Placed correctly and after healing, they should last a lifetime. Breast implants are designed differently so there are chances of rupture, which increases with time,...

Longevity of butt implants

How often should buttock implants be replaced?
Although buttocks implants have been on the market for over 25 years, I am not aware of any study that addressed the issue of replacement rates.
For some reason, buttock implants have never caught on, even though techniques had been perfected way before fat grafting to the buttocks was refined.
Most surgeons who focus on buttocks reshaping are choosing fat grafting by a large margin. I do many butt lifts a year, and I haven't done a butt implant in over 2 years. It's just that when I sit...

Butt implants longevity
Dear emer,
Butt implants, unlike fat injection do not disappear. Fat injection in large quantity, does not survive and completly disappear or almost completely disappear after 1 year. The silicone implants are non bio-degradeable and since they are soft solid , they do ot leak or break. Theoretically the can degrade over time, however in over 10 years of performing butt implants surgery , I did not witness it. So, the only reason to replace them will...

When to change Butt Implants
There is no set time to give you as to when to change the implants.
If you have problems, then you need to address that problem, if you have no problems then leave them alone.
if no problem and you are still happy with the results then you do not need to change your implants
