It’s important to note that while silicone ruptures can occur with both older and newer implants, they are generally rare. The risk of rupture typically increases with the age of the implant, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that all older implants are at a higher risk. The durability of silicone implants has significantly improved over the years, resulting in a lower risk of rupture. However, it’s still crucial to have regular check-ups and follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor the integrity of your implants. By choosing a skilled and experienced surgeon and adhering to post-operative guidelines, you can greatly reduce the chances of a rupture occurring.
