Breast augmentation surgery commonly uses certain types of implants as shaping materials. The quality of breast implants directly affects the surgical outcome.

How to choose the size of breast implants?
If the physical examination is qualified, experts will clearly understand the desired breast size of the person undergoing breast augmentation. Based on their overall and local conditions, they will estimate how much silicone gel is needed for each side. Choosing breast size mainly refers to factors such as age, chest shape (narrow or wide), body shape (fat or thin), height, skin tightness, etc. Generally speaking, taller and heavier women tend to have relatively larger breasts.
How long can breast implants last?
Previously, it was said that implants should be replaced after a certain number of years. However, currently, the understanding among plastic surgeons is that they can be implanted for life and do not need to be replaced. The longest duration of silicone gel implants in foreign countries is 35 years, with no toxic side effects found so far. Moreover, under special circumstances, breast implants can be completely removed without affecting breast function and restoring the original shape.
