What happens to breast implants when you get old

Breast augmentation with implants is a way of implanting silicone gel implants behind or in front of the pectoralis major muscle. The implanted implants have been certified and clinically applied for many years, proving that they have a low rejection reaction and are safe and non-toxic. There are two issues involved in what happens to breast implants when they get old, one is the unattractive appearance and the other is the service life of the implants. The first one is the unattractive appearance. Older women, due to the atrophy of the mammary glands, will have a step feeling in both breasts if they have had breast implants at a younger age. The so-called step feeling is that the position of the breast implant remains unchanged, but the breasts, due to the atrophy of the mammary glands and the atrophy of the skin and the sagging of the breasts, will have the sagging of the skin, as well as the nipple and areola, which will affect the appearance. At this point, you should seek medical attention and have your doctor develop an individualized treatment plan. Another problem is the implant, the service life of conventional implant is usually about 15 years, if the implant is found to be ruptured, the implant needs to be taken out in time. If the prosthesis has not ruptured, or has been in use for 15-20 years, it is recommended that the prosthesis be replaced and a new one reimplanted, which can be accomplished with a minor surgery. If, as you age, you feel uncomfortable and unsafe with the prosthesis inside your body, you can have it removed with minor surgery.
