I've been think of getting breast implants. I understand its short term risks and safety, but I can't find a clear and direct answer on its long term risks. Is the removal surgery a big trauma for an average health 70-year-old women. What's maxima age a doctor will perform the removal of saline implants? I need to know if I'll be able to sustain the removal at old age, once I have the implants. Thanks.
Answer: Breast Implants Removal at Old Age? It's a great question and everybody responds differently to breast implants. Breast implants add some weight to the breasts, 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. Removing breast implants is typically a straightforward procedure. 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.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast Implant Removal at Old Age Good day! Generally after explantation, the shape and size of the breast will be unpredictable. The breast will be smaller and possibly sag more. The results varies between patients depending on their age, duration and size of the implant, or previous state of their breasts like existing anatomy, deformity, previous surgeries, underlying personal and family medical conditions, nicotine use, and other factors. Patient's ability to undergo a specific procedure also varies and needs an in person examination. Do not hesitate to contact your surgeon about this and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: Removal of Breast Implants at Older Age?
Thank you for the question.
It is commendable that you are considering both the short-term and long-term issues associated with breast augmentation surgery. As far as breast implant removal at a older age, every patient's situation is individualized. Chronological age in itself is not a contraindication to breast surgery; however, significant medical issues may preclude a patient, regardless of her age, from having elective surgery. In other words, there is no “maximum age” to have breast implants removed; whether or not surgery is indicated in a individual patient's case needs to be evaluated based on assessment of medical conditions as well as risk/benefit calculations.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast Implants Removal at Old Age?
Taking out saline implants is quite the minor procedure, sometimes even done in the office under local anesthesia. Hopefully if you decide to proceed with breast enlargement surgery you will not find any reason to have them removed down the line!
The long terms risks are pretty much like the short term risks. Deflation is the one risk that may increase in time, the others all diminish.
Thanks and best wishes.
