Breast implants are one of the worst plastic surgeries available. They basically guarantee the patient will need expensive future surgery. This is because implants can leak, tear, harden due to the surrounding scar tissue, cause autoimmune issues even years down the line, cause cancer, cause permanent loss of sensation, droop out of the pocket created by the surgeon, or stay unnaturally perky while the rest of the breast tissue droops with age. Implants can last 20 years for those who are very lucky, but usually need replacing much sooner than that. Each subsequent surgery is more complicated and more extensive due to prior scar tissue, of course.

There was a sad story in the news of a woman who had received implants that turned out to be toxic and were recalled. Despite her implants leaking, doctors still encouraged her to breastfeed her new baby, who later developed a brain tumor and died. Still, even after all the trauma she suffered, the woman got her implants replaced with a new pair.

Many women who are finally fed up with all the problems caused by their implants eventually get them removed. But that often leaves them with sagging skin and an even smaller bust than they had started out with (because all the scar tissue surrounding each implant needs to be removed too). Ladies, if anyone you know is considering implants, at least try to steer them towards a breast lift or fat transfer, procedures that are one-and-done and don't introduce hazardous foreign materials into the body.
