How long do breast implants last and need maintenance?

7 months ago

I’m worried about the long-term maintenance of implants. How often do implants need to be checked or replaced, and how long can I expect them to last?

As for long-term maintenance, modern implants are designed to last 10 to 20 years or even longer without issues. However, it’s wise to have regular follow-ups every couple of years and imaging tests like MRI or ultrasound as recommended to check implant integrity. Replacements are only needed if there’s a problem like rupture or a desire for size change.
