Dr. Payne tells everyone that they should expect to have their implants removed and replaced at some point in time after the initial surgery. The most common reason to have implants removed is if they rupture or leak. This can be very accurately diagnosed using an MRI scan. Most breast implant patients will have their implants last 10 years or more. The breast implant companies do provide a warranty that covers broken implants. Another reason for implant change might be needed if the patient develops a capsular contracture. With this process the breast can become quite firm and even deformed looking. Some patients will change implants because they want to go bigger or smaller or to switch from saline to silicone implants or vice versa. They might want to make a change to get a different implant that might improve the shape of the breast.
