概要
This is probably the most common question we get asked: How often do breast implants need to be replaced?
A lot of advice says 10-15 years, but that's not actually true.
There's no expiration date on breast implants.
We explain why the timeline is different for everyone, what signs to watch for that indicate replacement might be needed, and how to think about imaging for both your implants and your breast tissue.
We also discuss the important distinction between replacing implants because they failed versus changing them because your breast itself has changed over time through weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or natural aging.
What you'll learn:
- Why the 10-15 year replacement timeline is a myth.
- The car tire analogy that explains replacement timing perfectly.
- How to know if your implant has failed or ruptured.
- What capsular contracture looks and feels like.
- FDA imaging recommendations for silicone implants.
- The difference between imaging for implants versus breast tissue.
- When ultrasound and MRI are needed for implant evaluation.
Have you been putting off your mammogram or breast imaging? This is your reminder to schedule it. Taking care of your breast health matters, whether you have implants or not.
