Really old implants. Should I have them removed or replaced?

blackhorserider
My implants are 53 years old and I am almost 76. While i don't have any specific problems with them, I wonder if I should have them removed or replaced. It's possible one may have been ruptured during a mammogram many years ago, though it doesn't look or feel any different.
