Can breast implants last a lifetime?
Breast implants are not intended to last a lifetime. Breast implants are typically under warranty for 10-20 years but may last longer.
Can breast implants change shape over time?
Breast implants can change in shape or size due to changes in the overlaying breast tissue or damage to the implant over time. In some cases, drastic changes can be a sign of complications such as capsular contracture or implant leaks and ruptures.
Can breast implants last 30 years?
It is possible for breast implants to last 30 years. However, it is more common for patients to replace their implants after about 20 years.
Can capsular contracture get worse?
Capsular contracture tends to get worse over time if not corrected.
