Do I have to change them?
There is no specific life span for implants. It is not uncommon for patients to return after some years to make changes to their implants. Some may find they need a lift after pregnancy or aging. Some prefer to exchange their implants for a larger or smaller implant. And some patients want them out all together. Silicone implants will not lose their volume over time. Saline implants have the risk of deflating if the implant ruptures.
Dear Hepburnn,your breasts will change with time even after you get implants. That is why I recommend my patients to replace implants every 10 years. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
