I want to know if I do get implants will I need to get them redone after so many years? How long can I exspect them to "last" I am a 36A? some of my bras say 32B or 34B The point is they are small and I want to go big like a big B or C. IDK I want to go big but I want to go as big as I can without them looking fake!! I want them to look natural.

Answer: Breast implant maintenance In theory, your breast implants should last a lifetime. There is no set period in which you need to have your implants replaced. Implant manufacturers talk about a ten year period , but that is for their guarantees, not the actual life span of the implants. The best maintenance that you can do is self exam. If anything feels or looks different to you, see your plastic surgeon for further evaluation. Most women can expect a lifetime of enjoying their breast enhancement without needing additional surgery

Answer: Small implants do very well long term No one can tell you that your implant will last forever. But, I have patients who still have their original silicone implants from the 80's and they look fine! And, they aren't having problems with their mammograms. A modest-sized implant, under the muscle does great. I also prefer silicone because it's like a run-flat tire. It will never deflate. Go get a few consultations with ASAPS member surgeons in your area and see what they recommend for you. Good luck!
