Durability of silicone in the breasts: Plastic surgery Royal✓

The installation of silicone implants is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures globally. Many women opt for this procedure to enhance the appearance of their breasts, boost their confidence, or restore their shape after pregnancy or a mastectomy. A common question regarding this procedure is: How long do breast implants last? This article will clarify the durability of silicone implants, the types available, the safety of the procedure, and why the implants used at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Royal Belgrade are of high quality.

What are Silicone Implants?

Silicone implants are medical devices designed to increase breast size and restore shape following surgery or bodily changes, such as pregnancy or aging. These implants are made of silicone rubber and are filled with silicone gel or liquid. Gel-filled silicone implants are the most commonly used because they provide a natural look and feel, closely resembling natural breast tissue.

Types of Silicone Implants

There are several types of silicone implants, each differing in structure and filling. The most recognized types are:

• Gelled Silicone Implants: These contain a dense, highly cohesive silicone gel that offers a natural appearance and texture. Their characteristics make them the most popular choice, as they mimic the behavior of natural breast tissue.
• Liquid Silicone Implants: Once popular, these implants are now used less frequently due to the risk of leaking or cracking.

The choice of implant type depends on the desired shape, size, natural breast appearance, and the specific needs of the patient.

How Long Do Breast Implants Last?

A key question regarding silicone implants is their longevity. Silicone implants are designed to be durable, but they are not permanent and may need replacement over time. On average, breast implants last between 10 and 20 years. However, some patients who are satisfied with their implants may find that they last over 20 years. It is essential to note that the condition of the implants can change, and complications may arise. Factors affecting implant durability include:

• Implant Rupture: Although modern implants are highly resistant, a rupture can still occur and necessitate replacement.
• Capsular Contracture: This condition happens when excessive tissue forms around the implant, potentially causing discomfort and changing the breast's shape.
• Changes in Body Weight and Lifestyle: As time passes, the body undergoes changes. Factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or hormonal changes can impact the appearance of both breasts and implants.

Regular check-ups, including ultrasounds or MRIs, are crucial for monitoring the condition of the implants and identifying any changes.

Are Silicone Implants Safe?

Silicone implants are considered one of the safest options for breast augmentation and shape reconstruction. Modern implants are manufactured under stringent quality and safety standards using high-quality materials, which undergo thorough testing and regulation. Today’s silicone implants are resistant to cracking, rupturing, and leaking, making them reliable for long-term use.

However, the success of the procedure primarily depends on the skill of the plastic surgeon. Choosing a licensed and experienced professional is vital for achieving the desired results and minimizing risks.
