How long does the natrelle teardrop implants last for until they need replaced?
Answer: How long do implants last? I tell my patients that these implants typically last about 10 years, but certainly could have a much shorter or longer life. I don't recommend replacement after 10 years if the implant is serving the patient well. The cost and risks of re-operating, not to mention buying new implants, lead me to recommend vigilance for rupture but not automatic exchange of implants.

Answer: Lifetime of Natrelle implants Hello, there is no absolute time limit when Natrelle implants must be replaced. If you have a good shape and the implants are soft and asymptomatic, there is no reason to have them exchanged.

Answer: How long till your implants need to be replaced? We typically recommend that you consider replacing your implants at 8-10 years. However, if you choose not to, that is entirely up to you. Stay in touch with your PS and if you decide to keep your implants at 10 years, he/she can always order and MRI for you to check the integrity of the implants. Good luck!

Answer: How long do Natrelle implants last until they need to be replaced? Implants don't have a specific lifespan and theoretically should be able to last a lifetime however on average breast augmentation patients have some sort of revisionary procedure after about 10 years. This is more commonly to deal with things like capsular contracture or sagging rather than implant rupture however. Hope that helps!
