Hello, Planning on getting breast implants in a couple months, and was wondering about how long I will be considered a good candidate for surgery. Early twenties at the moment, would I have to remove them say 40+ years from now? Is there a cut off age where women are no longer allowed to have surgery due to risks of being too old? Or is it more about the health of the patient and # of times they have gone under the knife concerning implant replacement etc. Thanks!
