ALL devices fail with time not to mention, like *real* boobs they will shift downward because of gravity. 10 years is the limit for safety so you had better plan on replacing them, otherwise don't get them. Any good doc will tell you this.
The warrantee on mine are up so I gotta get news one too. Actually I considered having them taken out altogether. Honestly I am still not sure what I will do.
I LOVE MY BOOBS and don't regret getting them done for a second. It is just that I have always been infatuated by tiny little titties that stand up and say, "HELLO!"
That is not necessarily true.
I think there is a woman who has some of the first sets of silicon implants in her still, so 40 years.
A good surgeon will have you in to have a scan or something like that to check for things like capsular contraction (although the new rough surfaces have this happen less often).
I think women do need to remember that they need to support the implants still, wear sports bras, and get fitted for decent bras
I love my implants as well, but I was also only really 're-filling' what I had lost because of
-becoming a chubette and then losing the weight
-bodybuilding
I think if I had just had small and perky breasts to begin with, I probably would have just left them alone, but I didn't, I have been a D-E/F cup (++ when I was a chubette) most of my life.
I did love it half the time during my first comp season when I had NO breasts, just pecs.
It was GREAT for wearing tiny, strappy tops, not having to wear a bra, or I wore a bikini top for a bra, and I could also get all sorts of great designer bras, like DandG, Robert Cavelli really cheap!
They looked ok, but they were really empty, and it did have an impact on my quality of life.
There was NO WAY I wanted to get naked with anyone with my breasts that empty. It nearly drove my boyfriend at the time bonkers, so I had to get 'sex bras'.
