I'm going on 11 years with my implants and they feel okay but I would feel much better if I could get a doctors opinion. My problem is that my original doctor has been disbarred from the medical field and I don't know who to turn to or what to expect at my consultation(s).

Answer: No need to change out >10yr old breast implants if all is well
I'm not sure where the misconception of 'having to change out' breast implants after 10years came from. Bottom line: there is no need to replace them if you are not having any issues with them. The warranty on implants expires after 10yrs, but that's it. The impant itself is safe after 10 years- no studies suggesting the contrary. I hope this helps, Dr. H
