Will Breast Augmentation Results Last Forever?

Every plastic surgery patient that I speak with wants to achieve outstanding aesthetic results from their cosmetic procedure. But they also want those results to last. This is perfectly understandable. After all, undergoing a cosmetic procedure like breast augmentation requires time, energy, and resources that no patient wants wasted on less than excellent aesthetic results. Today I wanted to discuss breast augmentation results, and more specifically, how long patients can expect theirs to last.

One of the most important aspects of any plastic surgery consultation appointment is helping my patients establish realistic expectations. Unfortunately, “forever” is never a realistic expectation. Breast implants can last many years. But it’s a fact that implants may begin to move and shift within the body over time, leading to natural wear and tear that can impact the appearance of the breasts. Additionally, natural aging or considerable weight fluctuation can also affect the appearance of the breasts in the years following breast augmentation.

In the following video I discuss breast implants and how long patients can expect them to last following their breast augmentation procedure:

One of the best ways to promote outstanding, long-lasting results from a breast augmentation procedure is to have your surgery performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. Being proactive about following your surgeon’s post-surgery care instructions and making follow-up appointments after surgery can also help extend the lifespan of breast implants.
