Prior generations of silicone gel implants lasted 15 to 20 years. Based on improvements in technology and production, we expect gel implants to last on the order of 25 to 30 years, possibly longer. Saline implants are not as durable as silicone and might last somewhere between 15 and 20 years. We will schedule follow-up visits after your surgery to assure that the implants are intact and in good condition. In the rare case that they are not, implant companies fully warranty their implants for three years covering all costs related to implant removal and replacement.
