I had saline implants 25 years ago. I love them, they look and feel natural. I have not had a single issue with them. I am constantly worried the implant are “old” and going to rupture any day. I can’t remember who my doctor was, he’s probably retired anyway. I am dreading getting new implants! Mine look so perfect and I’m so happy with them, what if I don’t have the same successful results now that my body is 25 years older. How long do saline implants last?

Answer: How Long do Saline Implants Last ? Hi and thanks for your question. If you are not currently experiencing an issue with your implants, it shouldn't be an issue to leave them be. It is recommended to replace saline implants every 7-11 years while getting yearly mammograms. The new gummy bear implants look and feel very natural and are completely safe and natural looking. If you ever felt the need to change the implants, I personally prefer the new silicone gel implants. Hope this helps and best of luck in the future !

Answer: How Long Do Saline Implants Last? Great news! Saline implants can last well-over 20 years! I have been in practice 23 years, and a good number of the implants I have placed in my early career still are in place and look good.Many patients, however, choose to replace their implants based on changes in their bodies, having had children and needing a lift, or developing a desire for more natural-feeling breasts. For these reasons, and not necessarily implant leakage, some patients exchange their saline implants for silicone.I tell my patients that the chance of a smooth saline implant leaking and needing replacement is under 10% at 10 years. That is not all that much higher than the chance of a silicone implant rupturing at 10 years. Interesting!
