Breast implant-based reconstruction is one option for restoring a natural, feminine breast shape after mastectomy. There may be other options that will work well for you too, such as flap reconstruction using your own tissue. The only way to know for sure is to consult our experienced reconstructive breast surgeons in Lone Tree, who can provide you with individualized recommendations based on your expectations.
As part of considering implant-based breast reconstruction, you may be wondering about the longevity of breast implants. For most women, breast implants are not lifetime devices and do have to be replaced at some point, but there’s no reason to replace them unless a problem occurs or unless you decide to modify some feature of your results. Examples of situations that may lead to breast implant exchange or removal are:
- Rupture or tear in the breast implant shell
- Breast implant complication, such as capsular contracture
- Desired change in type of implant or implant size
