There are a lot of questions that patients have when thinking about undergoing breast augmentation surgery. One of the most commonly asked questions is “how long will my breast augmentation results last?”. While it can be difficult to narrow down an exact timeline for how long your results will last, there is an average range.

The first thing you should know is that breast implants are designed to provide long-lasting results. However, they do not last forever. Over the years, general wear-and-tear will take a toll on the breast implants which can result in an implant rupture. On average, saline-filled breast implants will last for around eight to 13 years. Cohesive silicone implants have a longer lifespan and will typically last for around 20 to 30 years.

It is also important to note that the breasts tissue will still be affected by things like aging, gravity, and other factors that can impact the appearance of your breasts and the results of your breast augmentation. Within the expected lifespan of your implants, you may find that you want to address certain aesthetic concerns you may have, and our expert plastic surgeons will be able to provide you with the care you are in need of.
