Age related question patient and implants (Photo)

April 11, 2024
Asked By:this isMyface in Port Charlotte, Florida

70yo woman in good health. I had over the muscle saline implants replaced in 2000 going under the muscle. 475cc which is big for my build but looked very natural. Now, 24 yrs later, I have lost the expected volume, along with 10lb weight loss but implants remain soft and symmetrical. My worry: Do I have them replaced a final time, or risk failure when I am even older and then must have a procedure? Thank you
