My left breast implant changed and got hard and very high after 35 years. This happened about a month ago. It is very hard, changes shape and even though both implants are drooping, it is swollen, sore and hard and sits much higher than my right breast. I did call and schedule a mammogram and the mammogram came back perfectly normal. The radiologist said that I have silicone implants that sit under the muscle. Can I get both implants replaced? I am 66 and still want attractive breasts. Thank you.

Answer: Breast implants this is most likely a capsule contracture and is very common with implants that are of the generation of silicone that was used 35 years ago. I would find a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area and I am sure they will suggest removing the implant and the capsule and replacing the old implant with a newer style implant.this was a very common occurrence with this older type of implant and is nothing to worry about, but it can be uncomfortable.Good luck!
