Do breast implants need to come out at exactly 10 years?

Asked By:brantford23 in Miami, FL

I had breast implants in 2017 so I've got 3 years to go before hitting the 10yr mark. I have no complications and they're doing fine. My plan is to wait until I'm done having kids, and then get an explant & a breast lift. It might take about 5yrs before I'm done with kids. Is that a problem? Do implants need to come out right at 10 years? If I leave them a bit longer, will I have issues? Thanks
