If you are interested in getting or removing breast implants, you might have heard the statement that breast implants are for a lifetime and don’t need to be removed. Or you need to remove or replace them from time to time. No, these statements have nothing to do with the truth.
Breast implants don’t provide permanent results but last for 10 to 20 years. They need to be removed or replaced after a decade, not after a few months. They are designed for an extended period and without complications. It depends on the patients how well they have taken care of them.
