It was previously believed that breast implants needed to be replaced every 10 years. However, with the improved implantation and implant options today, this is not the case. If no rupture, damage, or medical issues have occurred because of the implant and the patient remains satisfied with the implant shape and volume, they do not need to be replaced. To ensure safety, it is recommended to have an MRI performed every few years to avoid undetected implant damage.
