Women who opt for breast implants may be signing up to a lifetime of follow-up surgical procedures. That's according to the Food and Drug Administration, which says women who get implants commonly need surgery within 10 years for maintenance, such as dealing with ruptures.
Reuters reports the FDA looked at several long-term studies to reach its conclusions.
Says an FDA higher-up:
The key point is that breast implants are not lifetime devices. The longer you have the implant, the more likely you are to have complications.
