My saline implants are 12 years old for how long they last ? I have no problems with them .
Answer: How long can I keep my saline implants? They are 12 years old and I have no problems with them. How long will they last? Thank you for the question and congratulations on many years of enjoying the outcome of breast augmentation surgery! There is no way of predicting exactly how long your saline breast implants will be problem free. Also, there is no time limit as to when or if you need to exchange your breast implants. I have heard from patients that they have heard that breast implants need to be changed every 10 years. The only reasons you would need to exchange your breast implants are if you are having a problem with them or if you'd like to change the size.Some of the potential complications that may prompt arrest implant removal/replacement would be deflation, capsular contracture, bottoming out, or just size change. I hope this helps.

Answer: Saline Implants Longevity You can keep your saline implants for as long as they don't cause any problems. While the risk of deflation increases the longer you have them, you don't need to have them replaced if it's not necessary.

Answer: No implant issues No need to disturb Implant companies will not tell you that implants can be life long devices. If your implants are not causing you problems such as pain, capsular contracture and/or pain then there is no need to bother them.

Answer: How long can I keep my saline implants? They are 12 years old and I have no problems with them. How long will they last? Thank You for your question. If you are happy with how you look and are not encapsulated or suspect a rupture, there is no need to exchange your implants.The most common long term problem is implant rupture. The risk of implant rupture is 1% each year, at the 10 year mark you have a 10% chance of your implant rupturing.You possibly have many more years before the need to exchange.

Answer: How often does one need to change breast implants? If you have had no problems with your implants, I see no reason to exchange them at 12 years. We have seen patients who have enjoyed over twenty years with saline implants that have had no problems. If you have any concerns, check with your original surgeon or with a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in-person exam. Best of luck.
