Do my breast implants need to be removed?

Breast implants are not considered permanent and may require removal or replacement over time. Indications for removal include implant rupture, capsular contracture, infection, shifting, and cosmetic concerns. Patients can maintain their implants for decades without issues, but the risk of complications increases over time.

The FDA advises regular monitoring with MRI or ultrasound for silicone implants to identify silent ruptures. Individuals with discomfort, health concerns, or dissatisfaction may opt for removal or revision surgery.
