Today’s generation of breast implants are much improved over previous devices, and most should last a long time.  However, we cannot expect them to be lifetime devices.  At some point, implants may require replacement; this is normal and should be considered with every breast augmentation surgery.  This doesn’t mean that you have to have breast surgery on a regular basis.  By and large, if everything looks and feels good and there is no evidence of rupture, you can keep your implants for many many years.  

Most of the time, removal and replacement of breast implants is desired for cosmetic reasons, rather than implant ruptures or other complications.  In either event, if you aren’t happy with the outcome of a previous breast augmentation or you are experiencing problems with your current set of implants, there are several options available to you.  Dr. George Landis has extensive experience performing breast augmentation revision procedures, and he can devise the best treatment plan to deliver exceptional results safely.
