When to replace implants
I had a BMX about 14 years ago with expanders leading to implants about six months later. I’ve had absolutely no issues with my implants and based on MRIs, my implants are intact.
However, my breast surgeon wants me to start thinking about replacing the implants because they typically last about as long as I’ve had them. I am 68 and in very good health and she feels that I should have surgery while I’m still young and fit enough to withstand it easily. My plastic surgeon.says there are no guidelines for this sort of thing - he hates to mess with implants that aren’t posing any problems, but it’s true about having them replaced while on the younger side.
Any experiences with this sort of thing?
