Breast explant – when should your breast implants be replaced? Typically breasts implants should be replaced every 10-to-15years, regardless of whether you have silicone or saline implants. While rare, rupture of implants can cause pain and lumps. Capsular contracture, when the scar tissue around breast implants hardens, causes pain and misshapen breasts, is also another reason to review your implants. Not common, but something to be aware of, breast implant illness can cause brain fog, hair loss, skin rashes and fatigue. And the rare cancer, Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, which is especially associated with textured breast implants has given rise to an increased number of breast implant removals in more recent years. Your health and safety should always be on the frontline of any breast implant decisions, seek the guidance of trusted breast surgeons, www.davinciclinic.co.nz
