Breast augmentation results can last 10–20 years or even a lifetime, depending on implant quality, surgical technique, and post-op care. BLS Breast Surgery Center offers detailed guidance and advanced procedures to support long-term outcomes.
Breast Augmentation Longevity: How Long Do Implants Last?
Modern breast augmentation continues to grow in popularity—not only for boosting confidence but also for enhancing body proportions. A common question among patients is: How many years do implants last? or Can silicone implants last a lifetime? The answer varies by individual. While newer-generation implants are more durable and safer than older models, other factors also influence long-term results.
New-Generation Silicone Implants
Implants like Motiva and Mentor are designed for extended durability. They feature stronger outer shells, reduced leakage risk, and a more natural feel. On average, these implants can last 10–20 years, and in many cases, a lifetime, making them a worthwhile long-term investment.
Common Misconceptions
Silicone implants can last a lifetime if they meet medical standards. However, non-standard implants may lead to complications such as capsular contracture, breast distortion, sagging, or dissatisfaction with shape—prompting removal or replacement.
Factors for Long-Term Beauty
Avoid oversized implants
Choose a size that suits your body frame to reduce complications and back pain.
Safe incision method + Endoscopic technique
A 1.5 cm incision under the breast allows precise placement using a monitor-guided endoscope, minimizing nerve damage and scarring.
Dual Plane placement
Combines submuscular and subglandular positioning for natural slope and full expansion, reducing visible edges and improving safety.
When Should Implants Be Replaced?
Even high-quality implants require monitoring. Replacement may be necessary to avoid complications.
Post-Augmentation Complications to Watch Out For
Signs That May Indicate a Need to Check or Replace Implants
- Breast shape distortion
- Skin changes (rippling, swelling, redness, dimpling)
- Implant rupture
Detection methods
- Direct
Ultrasound or MRI for internal assessment - Indirect
Visual signs like asymmetry or capsular contracture
If unsure about replacement, consult a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast augmentation.
At BLS Surgery Center, patients are cared for by specialists like Dr.Earth, who prioritize safety and aesthetic outcomes.

Differences Between “Motiva Breast Implants” and “Mentor Breast Implants”
Motiva Breast Implants
Motiva has quickly gained popularity among the new generation, including Gen Z and Gen Y individuals in their teenage and working years who seek flexibility and prefer first-time augmentation. Most choose the Mini or Demi models for a soft, natural look that makes styling easier.
- Nano Texture Surface
The silicone surface is exceptionally smooth, helping reduce the risk of capsular contracture and minimizing irritation to surrounding tissue. - TrueMonobloc Technology
The internal structure is highly durable and flexible, allowing the implant to move naturally. - Progressive Gel Plus
The inner gel is highly elastic and natural-feeling, closely mimicking real breast tissue. - Q Inside Safety Technology (Microchip System)
Some Motiva models come with a microchip that stores implant-specific data, allowing physicians to track implant history. (It does not affect the body and is safe.) - Ergonomix Shape
Designed to mimic the look, feel, and movement of natural breast tissue. The breast appears round when lying down and slightly teardrop-shaped when standing—creating a natural appearance.
Mentor Breast Implants
Mentor is a long-established American brand, FDA-approved, with proven quality. It’s suitable for patients who want a well-defined cleavage. The implant sits naturally against the breast base, creating a firm, sexy look and making fashion more enjoyable.
- MemoryGel
Offers a soft, natural feel. The gel is firm yet flexible, maintaining shape well and resisting deformation—ensuring long-term safety. - Variety of Shapes
Available in both round and anatomical (teardrop) shapes to suit individual preferences and body types. - Global Trust
Mentor is widely used by leading plastic surgeons, backed by medical data confirming its high safety standards.
Natural Results
Breast augmentation at BLS Breast Surgery Center delivers natural-looking results. With surgical expertise, the breast shape is proportionate, not exaggerated or artificial. Patients feel more confident and find it easier to dress after the procedure.
Consult a Specialist for Confidence Before Surgery
If you’re planning breast augmentation but still have concerns about implant longevity, how many years implants last, or potential side effects, it’s recommended to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon with direct expertise in breast augmentation. Surgeons at BLS Breast Surgery Center can analyze your body structure, discuss suitable sizes and shapes, and recommend the most appropriate implant for optimal and natural results
