My saline implants are 15 years old and I am having burning pain in my right breast?

Hello and thank you for your question!  I would advise you to be seen by a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation and be examined.  I hope this helps and best of luck to you!

There are many  reasons for post surgical breasts discomfort years after breast surgery. Some may be related to the breast surgery. Others may not be. You will need an exam by a board certified plastic surgeon and he/sh may order tests to help clarify the diagnosis, if needed. There are many qualified surgeons here in our metro Phoenix area. Eventually, you may require surgery. 

Hello,

One possible reason is capsular contracture, which is not unusual after 15 years. If you are experiencing pain and distortion in your breasts, it might be a good idea to get a plastic surgical assessment to see if your implants are still giving you the best possible results

Thank you for your question.  Because of the pain you are experiencing, I would encourage you to follow up with your operating board certified plastic surgeon for an in person evaluation.  It is possible that this pain you are experiencing is muscular in nature or the result of some physical activity, trauma or simply sleeping differently, but it might also be the sign of capsular contracture or scar tissue formation.  Please also remember that saline implants are not intended to be life long devices, and the current recommendation is that saline breast implants be replaced every 8-10 years.  I hope this helps and I would again encourage you to schedule an in person evaluation for the best advice.

It is difficult to assess without seeing you in person. Please contact your surgeon for an in person assessment.Regards,
