Breast implants are designed to last for many years, often decades, and they are not “expiration” devices that require replacement every 10 years. While there is a common misconception that implants must be replaced within a decade, this is not true unless a complication arises or a patient chooses to make a change for personal or cosmetic reasons.
At our practice, we believe in being transparent. Some surgeons perpetuate this myth, encouraging unnecessary procedures for financial gain. Dr. Freedland does not exploit this approach. Instead, we empower our patients with accurate information and guidance tailored to their needs.
It’s also worth noting that implants often come with a lifetime warranty on the implant itself and a 10-year warranty covering replacement costs, much like a parts-and-labor guarantee. This ensures your peace of mind without feeling obligated to undergo unnecessary replacements.
If you have questions or concerns about your implants, we’re here to provide honest advice and support, not pressure.
