There is no ‘expiration date’ for breast implants

There is no ‘expiration date’ or specific time when breast implants need to be exchanged or removed. We counsel our patients prior to their breast surgery that they must willingly accept the concept that there is a reasonable chance that they may need to have their breast implants replaced or removed during their lifetime. Replacement of the implants may occur for several reasons when it is determined that they are faulty, other complications necessitate their removal, the patient desires them to be removed for aesthetic purposes such as going larger, or a combination of the above.

I hope this helps!
