Hello everyone! Wondering how long implants last? Is there an average time frame and when they need to be replaced or are they only replaced when there is a rupture or recall of them? I assume there are less problems with silicone now than there were with saline sometime ago too. That is one question I have!

Also, have any of you opted to replace your current implants with a different size a few years after your BMX and if so, how were the results?

I have not been happy with my Ulta Mentor implants, they are too big for my body but it was my fault, I gave my PS the wrong guidance. I am considering exchanging for a smaller size and was wondering if anyone has done that, at a later time. I am 5'4" and 135 lbs, usually am about 120 lbs and trying to get back there! I feel I would feel more like myself going to a more natural implant. I went from a B to a D, even though I look like a C only, but the one side is just so round and shelf like that I just want to be more natural. I know I will have to make sure it is covered, although my PS said it would be, but wondering if anyone went in for a different size later and if you were happy with your decision.

Thank you so you much! :-)
