What To Expect With Breast Augmentation

The FDA tells us that we should recommend that you get an MRI every so many years and see if they're leaking or not. But we don't necessarily do that routinely. A lot of people want to pay for the expense doing an mri. They don't really break, don't generally break right away. But over 10, 20 years, something could happen where the shell gets weakened and the implant breaks and you have to change it out. When an implant does break, the breast will typically get hard, called a capsular contraction. You'll be able to identify that and take it out. The implants could last a lifetime. They might last five or 10 years. So there is always the likelihood of getting another surger down the road. Also, other things can happen, such as childbirth or changing weight, where the breasts might get most saggy or you might want to go bigger or smaller. So these are all things that happen with breast augmentation.
