Breast Implant Replacement
I am frequently asked if breast implants need to be routinely replaced after 5 or 10 years. The answer is no! Breast implants do not have an expiry date. They do not have a mandatory replacement date. There is a great deal of confusion regarding this idea, however, I advise my patients that the only reason to replace implants that have healed well and are stable years later is to create a change in appearance. As time passes, our bodies change, our goals change, and a patient may consider a change in breast size. This is a personal decision.
