- Breast implants will not last a lifetime. Either because of rupture or other complications, you will likely need to have the implants removed.
- You are likely to need additional doctor visits and reoperations because of one or more complications over the course of your life.
- You are likely to have the implants removed, with or without replacement, because of one or more complications over the course of your life.
- Many of the changes to your breast following implantation may be cosmetically undesirable, as well as irreversible (cannot be undone).
- If you later choose to have your implants removed, you may experience unacceptable dimpling, puckering, wrinkling, loss of breast tissue, or other undesirable cosmetic changes of the breast.
