My breast implants are 24 years old. I know they are saline but that is all I can remember about the procedure. My left breast has deflated or ruptured. Anyway, it is half the size of the other. I want them out of my body. How long can I go before getting them removed without complication? Does every plastic surgeon do this kind of removal?
Answer: Breast Implants Hi Sharon,No cause for alarm. As you read below, the salt water is harmless. I have had patients put off replacement, or just removal for years. If you be

Answer: Can I get sick from saline implant rupture? They are 24 y/o. How long can I go before getting them removed without complication The saltwater should be absorbed by your body, and should not cause any problems. It's best to replace a ruptured saline implant within the first month after the rupture. If you wait longer, the overlying skin and the capsule around the implant will begin to shrink. It becomes more difficult to perform the surgery and to get good symmetry when the implant has been ruptured for a long time. If you would like your implants removed, then it's best to have that performed in the next several months.

Answer: Can Saline Implant Rupture Make You Sick Saline implant rupture rates increase with implant age. I have seen some that lasted 30 years. When saline implants leak, your breast volume will diminish, but there is no health risk associated with leakage. Some women do feel the implant rubbing against their tissue, but the saline is just absorbed by your tissues and your breast goes flat. If you are not having other problems with them, you don't have to change them until they leak.
