How often do you get an MRI to check on the integrity of your implants (if at all)?

Today I went in for my final 6-month visit. They offered to order an MRI to check on the integrity of the implants, even though there are no signs of trouble with them. Is it normal to get an MRI on my implants just because they are five years old?

Mine are 13 years old and other than a manual palpating by my mo, I’ve never had an mri or imaging to specifically check for implant integrity.

Ok thanks exbrnxgrl. I think the clinic I go to is very aggressive. Look at my stats - they still put me on OS+AI!

My plaster surgeon said that typical rec is to do MRI every 5 years to check integrity of implants but he thought that was too much .he said it would be ok to push it out if no problems by a few years.
