Do I have to remove my saline breast implants after 20 years? Can I just leave it in? Is there a way to check up how my current implants are or their images without surgery because I'm experiencing pain around my breasts?

Answer: Implant removal Dear hipngau,you don't need to change your implants if you don't have problem with them. You mentioned that you feel pain so it would be the best to check it with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.

Answer: No Need Thank you for reaching out. There is no need to remove, it will likely be noticeable if they are leaking, otherwise it is ok to leave them in. But if you are experiencing pain, I would suggest you maybe get an ultrasound or see your doctor to find out the cause. Best of luck. Dr. Kim
