How long do breast implants last?

Breast implants do have a lifespan. Roughly, saline implants have a rupture rate of approximately 1-2% per year. So in year 10, you may have a 10-20% chance of rupture. Memory gel implants roughly have a 1-2% per lifetime rupture rate.

To learn more about factors to consider when choosing your breast implants, please contact our Pittsburgh plastic surgery office today to schedule a consultation.
