Breast implant removal surgery is a popular option for those who change their minds about their breast augmentation and wish to return to their naturally smaller size. Implant replacement surgery provides solutions for women whose implants have rippled, hardened, changed shape, or shifted position. Over time, even the most successfully placed implants may rupture or leak, and should be replaced. Typically, breast implants last between 10 and 15 years; after this, implant revision surgery will typically become necessary in order to maintain volume and shape.
