How Often Should I Change My Breast Implants?

According to the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA), you should have your breast prostheses analyzed every year through ultrasound to uncover any silent ruptures or complications.

Most implants need changing after every 10 years. However, medical technology has delivered newer, advanced models of silicone gel implants that may last you for a couple more years before needing replacement.

There are several reasons your breast implants may need replacement (besides rupturing); capsular contraction, persistent pain in the breast, displaced implants, and changes in the shape of the implant are all common signs that you should look out for. If you notice any of these effects, you should reach out to your plastic surgeon immediately.

Prior to your surgery, you should schedule an initial consultation and assessment with Dr. Juan to fully discern your unique case. We will discuss the type of surgery best suited to your need, the type of implant we will use, the location of the implant, and several other important factors that can impact the overall success of your surgery.

The surgery itself is usually performed under the administration of general anesthesia. The surgery can take 1-2 hours to perform, depending on the complexity of your case. Silicone gel implants are placed in their required positions as they are. But saline implants must be positioned and then filled with the sterile saline solution.

After surgery, we will use surgical drains to remove any excess fluid or blood from the recovery site to prevent it from accumulating. It will help promote a quick recovery so you can get back to your day-to-day activities.

We house some of the latest AI-enabled software programs that allow us to create a simulation of your expected results depending on your current bust size and shape and what you hope to achieve.
