40 year old implants - should I leave them in for life if nothing changes?

December 15, 2024
Asked By:zippyjan in Scotland, United Kingdom

I’m 72 and have had my implants in since I was 30. I had them checked by a surgeon about 10 years ago (no scans) I’m healthy and although they’ve naturally sagged over the years, they don’t cause me any problems. I read that implants should be changed after 10-20 years, so it does give me a bit of concern now and again. I don’t want to have them taken out if I don’t need to. Should I leave them in for life if nothing changes? What is your opinion?
