How many years can breast implants last? Many patients ask how many years can breast implants last after they learn about the dangers of implants. For this question, it is related to so many factors. Generally, the safe period of implants in the body is 8-10 years, but we have also seen breast implants done for 12 years and still no abnormalities. But these are not the reasons not to take out the implants. We know that the most common complications of implants are implant contracture, implant rupture and displacement. When the prosthesis is not ruptured, it is still relatively easy to remove and there is no outflow of silicone gel from the prosthesis. The silicone gel inside the prosthesis, when not aging, is very cohesive, even if the prosthesis is cut, there will not be much flow; but when the prosthesis is aging, this characteristic of the silicone gel basically no longer exists, becoming similar to the jelly without cohesion, the prosthesis rupture will be very easy to flow. The ruptured prosthesis should be removed as soon as possible, because in a short time, the outflow of the silicone gel will remain in the prosthetic envelope, but if the time is long, it can enter the body through the envelope and leak into the tissue gap, causing some harm to the body. In short, for the prosthesis, it is better to remove as soon as possible. It is recommended to go to a regular, professional hospital and find a professional hospital to do the implant removal surgery, or you can do the breast augmentation surgery immediately after the implant is removed, both can be taken and done together.
