What is the lifespan of plastic surgery implants?

A, breast implants The U.S. Food and Drug Administration passed a safety review of the long-term application of silicone implants in the human body, allowing the long-term use of silicone implants in the human body. However, doctors still recommend replacing the implants once in 10 years or so. Because the quality of the implant will deteriorate over time, the possibility of leakage and other accidents will be greatly increased. Timely replacement of the implant is more conducive to long-term breast safety and better maintenance of the breast augmentation effect. In the following cases, you must remove the prosthesis and re-implant: 1, breast implant envelope contracture is serious, breast sclerosis. 2, abnormal breast implant placement. 3.Infection, if necessary, you need to take out the breast implant, and you can perform breast augmentation surgery again after 3 months. 4.Leakage of breast implant, it is necessary to remove the leakage first and consider breast implant surgery again 3-6 months after the wound healing. Second, rhinoplasty, chin pad with silicone prosthesis Whether domestic or joint venture silicone nasal prosthesis, it is recommended that 5-15 years to replace, because silicone long in the body will degenerate, aging, calcification and other problems, the prosthesis hardened, although no fundamental impact on the human body, but will reduce the visual and tactile beauty of the nose. In the following cases, you must remove the rhinoplasty / chin implant and re-implant it: 1, infection and rejection, especially in the root of the nose. 2.Nasal skin ulceration, should be reviewed early to avoid scarring. 3, crooked prosthesis, early can ask the doctor to help correct, very serious need to remove. Third, rhinoplasty, chin pad with tumescent prosthesis Theoretically, tumescent can be used in the body for life, but the tumescent will also harden over time, and is prone to infection in the long term, and therefore implanted tumescent also need to go to the hospital regularly for related checks. In the following cases, you must remove the rhinoplasty / chin implant, re-implantation: 1, infection, once the infection is very difficult to control, should be promptly removed. 2, crooked prosthesis, early can ask the doctor to help correct, if the prosthesis is displaced, need to re-implant the prosthesis and fixed and stable. Regardless of which way to choose, using which material, after plastic surgery you can not rest easy, regularly go to the hospital to do the relevant checks is an essential “task”.
