The appearance of breast implants when your 50, 60, or 70+ years old is highly correlated with how your breasts will appear when your 50, 60, or 70.No one can necessarily predict how your breasts will appear as a result of menopausal changes.This comes down to fortune telling and is similar to asking how your belly will look when you have children. No one can predict whether you will or will not have stretch marks.Having said that I can generally say that women with very small breasts who undergo augmentation with a relatively small implant (270 and less) tend to show only mild changes with aging in contrast to larger breasts with large implants.
Time will change the way the implants look. If there are no issues with the implants as you age, the breasts will age with you. The look can be quite natural, and nothing in particular needs to be done as you get older.
It's a great question and everybody responds differently to breast implants. Breast implants add some weight to the breast, so the progression of sagging will be slightly more rapid. However, it's important to remember that implants that are sized appropriately, using measurements and your soft tissue characteristics, do the best job of maintaining the longevity of your breasts. This helps give you the longest lasting results. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

Capsular contractures can result in distortion and firmness of thebreasts. In rare cases, the weight of breast implants can accelerate breastsag.The development of breast sag appears to be more likelywhen patients have poor skin tone and large implants are placed on top of themuscle. Under these circumstances, a breast lift may be necessary. In rarecases, the breast pocket may require elevation as well.How aging effects a woman’s breasts and implants dependsupon a multitude of variables. For this reason it can difficult to determinehow aging will affect any particular patient’s situation.
This really depends on how natural her results look. They may continue to look very natural with age, so that nobody every knows that the woman has breast implants. On the other hand, if a woman's breasts look obviously augmented shortly after her surgery, then they will continue to look that way, and perhaps even more so, as she ages.
