11 years post op - should I consider replacing my implants now that I'm having a lift done?

Thank you for bringing up this question, as it's a common concern. Typically, if you weren't undergoing breast surgery, there wouldn't be a need to replace implants that aren't causing any issues. However, given that you're having breast surgery, it's prudent to replace implants that are over 10 years old.

An additional advantage is that your lift can be performed with precision while the old implants are in place, and then the implants can be swapped out for new ones before closing the incisions. You might also want to consider a slight adjustment in the size of the implants, as a lift can result in slightly smaller breasts.

Since it’s been over 10 years it would be a good idea to replace the implants. Also a different size may be indicated now that you are having a lift done
