For decades now, cosmetic surgery technology has evolved to a point where plastic surgeons can perform efficient, risk-free procedures with long-lasting results. When it comes to breast augmentation, today’s silicone breast implant producers, such as Allergan and Mentor, provide stunning results and lifetime warranties to guarantee them. However, these silicone implants completely differ from those used over two decades ago. The quality of the silicone elastomer has significantly increased from a liquid type more susceptible to gel leakage and rupture to today’s silicone implants, which are made of a highly cohesive, more resistant gel.
Despite this, most patients ready to undergo breast augmentation procedures show concerns related to silicone implant durability. Plastic surgeons frequently face concerns such as: “Do I have to replace my implants after ten years?” or “How often should I replace my implants?” These misconceptions stem mainly from the breast implant guarantee period offered by breast implant manufacturers over two decades ago. With today’s scientific progress, the plastic surgeon community considers breast augmentation a substantially safer procedure, ready to provide results that will last for many years! If you’re prepared to move forward with your breast augmentation procedure and achieve long-lasting results, we would love to schedule a consultation with you at our office, Vinyard Institute of Plastic Surgery, in Port St. Lucie, FL.
When patients considering breast augmentation come to our office, they often ask our medical team if the breast implants need to be replaced every 10-15 years. This misconception keeps many patients from following through with the breast implants they truly desire because of presumed long-term costs and future surgical procedures.
The plastic surgeon community has not reached a consensus regarding breast implant lifespan. The estimate that most surgeons give is anywhere between 10-20 years, but the results of a procedure done by an experienced plastic surgeon can last even longer than that. The answer to the above question depends on several factors, such as the patient’s age, genetics, lifestyle, and, most importantly, the surgical procedure itself. If a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon performs the breast augmentation procedure, and if the patient follows a healthy, proactive lifestyle, your breast implants could last for years to come!

Like any other treatment, breast implantation does not last forever. Several factors influence the way breast implants will be performed in the future, such as age, the force of gravity, the patient’s lifestyle, and personal preferences. Here at the Vinyard Institute of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Vinyard considers prevention to be the most efficient way to avoid unwanted complications, such as leakage, ruptures, migration, or unevenness.
Apart from the plastic surgeon’s experience and the breast augmentation procedure, factors influencing implant longevity depend primarily on the patient. Patients typically change their tastes and aesthetic perspectives many times throughout their lifetime. Unhappiness with the implant size and shape is commonly cited as a reason for breast implant removal. Matters belonging to taste and perspective are always complex and hard to put into perspective for long periods of time. Dr. Vinyard considers every single patient’s aesthetic goals and, using his expertise, works with the patient to find the bust size and shape of a lifetime! That way, the patient can ensure breast implant longevity and astonishing results for many years.
However, what are the options for women who are no longer satisfied with their bust appearance and decide to change existing implants to bigger or smaller ones? If your aesthetic perspective changes to a point where breast implant replacements become necessary, our medical team’s training and expertise are ready to accommodate your taste changes! Replacing your breast implants is a much easier procedure since most of the pain women experience when recovering from breast implant surgery is caused by creating the breast implant pocket under the muscle. The plastic surgeon will often use the same pocket for breast implant replacement, which facilitates both the procedure and the recovery process.
