What are the long term consideration with silicone implants?

Neither silicone or saline implants are meant to last a life time. Anyone considering breast augmentation should anticipate the need to have at least one more surgery on their breast. This may be because of implant exchange, change in size, breast lift, etc. The main difference is that saline implants do NOT HAVE to be replaced unless there is a problem. Silicone implants, on the other hand, should be replaced every 10-15 years even if there is no problem.
