How long does breast augmentation with implants last?
Generally, breast augmentation with implants can last for 10-15 years. Breast augmentation is a common cosmetic surgery procedure primarily involving the implantation of silicone materials into the chest area to increase breast size and improve shape. The general reference price for breast augmentation ranges from 20,000 to 80,000 yuan per procedure, with noticeable improvement typically seen within 7-10 days. This procedure should be performed at a qualified hospital. Detailed analysis is as follows:
If medium-quality implant materials are selected, although they may meet basic needs, they may not be sufficiently durable; minor technical imperfections during surgery, such as inaccurate implant placement or inadequate dissection of the implant pocket, may affect the long-term stability of the implant; or improper post-operative care by the patient, such as failure to follow medical advice for regular massage or resuming strenuous activities too soon, may result in effects lasting only up to 10 years.
If high-quality, strictly certified implant materials are chosen, these materials offer better biocompatibility and durability; when the surgery is performed by experienced and skilled surgeons, precise implant placement and optimal healing of surrounding tissues can be ensured; and when patients strictly follow post-operative care instructions, such as attending regular follow-up appointments, wearing supportive bras correctly, and avoiding external trauma, the results may last up to 15 years.
Post-operative care must be strictly followed as instructed by the physician, including avoiding strenuous exercise, attending regular follow-up appointments, wearing supportive bras properly, avoiding strong impacts, and performing massage as directed. Diligent post-operative care can help prolong the beneficial effects of breast augmentation.
