How Long Do Breast Implants Last?

How Long Do Breast Implants Last?

How Long Do Breast Implants Last?

If you are thinking about getting breast implants and you are under the age of 40, you should be aware of the fact that you may need a breast revision surgery in the future. Unfortunately, breast implants do not last forever. As a woman’s body changes with pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and the effects of gravity over time, the look of the breasts can change as well.  

So how long do breast implants last? That depends on several factors, including the makeup of the breast tissue and the soft tissue envelope that holds the implant. It also depends on the type of implant.

As a general rule, today’s implants are designed to last well over a decade.  After a decade, the risk of implant rupture increases. You should get regular checkups for breast health and implant safety. Mammography and MRI are diagnostic tests that may be ordered to assess your breasts.  Your doctor will be able to tell through an examination if your breast implants need to be replaced or removed.

When you get breast implant revision surgery, you can opt for having them removed or replaced. If it has been over a decade since you first got your implants, you probably didn’t have very many options at the time. Today there are so many more options for implants, both saline and silicone solutions, including the popular gummy bear implants. When you get revision breast surgery, you may want to consider changing the shape or size of your breasts. If you get the implants removed completely, a breast lift will help bring your breasts back to a natural and restored state.

If you are interested in getting breast enlargement surgery, contact us today to get all of your questions answered.

    I came to Dr. Mosiello’s practice as a reluctant patient who had just been given the diagnosis of breast cancer. I have been in several doctors’ office’s during my diagnosis and treatment and Dr. Mosiello’s office is my favorite. He is a very kind, competent surgeon who patiently answered questions and explained things fully. I was given clear post op directions and checked on by the nurse before my first post op visit and someone was always available if I had a question or concern. His staff is amazing! Melissa, Paula, Mary and Carol are all very personable and caring. This is also an office where I did not wait long periods of time to be seen. Things run smoothly and timely. I would highly recommend Dr. Mosiello to anyone in need of a plastic surgeon.

    I love Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery ~ Dr. Moseillo, Mary, Nancy & Paula. I had breast cancer and reconstruction with Dr. Moseillo several years ago and knew I would never let anyone perform surgery on me other than him. I decided I wanted to do an Upper Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery). I had the surgery a few months ago, am now at my summer home in Maine and everyone is commenting on how great I look. They have no idea that I had anything done! I keep hearing, “you have amazing eyes”. I am so thrilled with the results, feel 10 years younger and if you’re thinking about this procedure, or any other for that matter, do not hesitate to go to Tampa Palms ?

    Dr. Mosiello, plain and simply put , is the BEST ! I did a lot of research and he was the one I chose and am very thankful and grateful that I did, as I had consulted with other plastic surgeons from other cancer centers. Dr. Mosiello surpassed in every area. He and his staff truly care and are warm, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. Which takes the stress out of any pre surgery or procedure. Knowing you have the best surgeon in your corner is the most important part. Post surgical procedures look amazing and he has saved my life, and has made me whole again. Look no further, he IS the best.
