Implants for life? Discover the truth about your breast implant's lifespan
Breast implants don't last forever. Learn about capsular contracture, implant rupture, and other factors that affect longevity, plus when to consider revision surgery.
At Aria Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that breast augmentation is a significant and exciting decision. However, a key question arises: how long will the implants last? Contrary to popular belief, implants are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. As a patient, knowing the factors that influence their longevity is essential for your well-being and for maintaining the results you love.
Key Factors That Influence Your Implant’s Lifespan
The lifespan of implants varies from person to person. Here are the most common reasons you might need a revision:
- Capsular Contracture: This is the most frequent cause for replacement. The body creates a tissue capsule around the implant, which can sometimes harden, causing pain and deforming the breast.
- Implant Rupture: While modern implants are highly durable, a rupture can occur. With saline implants, deflation is obvious. With silicone implants, the rupture can be silent, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups.
- Aesthetic and Personal Changes: Over time, your preferences and body change. Many patients decide to change the size, shape, or simply have their implants removed to align with their new lifestyle.
At Aria Cosmetic Surgery, we not only help you achieve the figure you desire, but we also empower you with knowledge to care for your long-term health.
