Ten years after undergoing breast augmentation with Dr Layt, this patient returned for a breast implant review through our Breast Implant Check Clinic (BICC).
She had recently noticed an area of discomfort on the outer right breast, which had since resolved, but attended for assessment of a remaining palpable area.
Clinical examination was performed and her recent MRI was reviewed. Both implants were intact, with no evidence of rupture or leakage.
The patient also reported being happy with the appearance of her breasts 10 years following her original surgery.

In accordance with the medical guidelines, all surgical or invasive procedures carry risks and potential complications (drlayt.com/surgery-risks-and-complications/). These guidelines recommend seeking a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner prior to proceeding with surgery.
Every patient is an individual and therefore final surgical results will vary from patient to patient. Results, Risks, and Recovery are dependent on factors Pre and Postoperatively, including, but not limited to, genetics, diet, and exercise.

This case is also a useful reminder that breast implants do not automatically require replacement when they reach 10 years. Implants are not lifetime devices, and whether replacement or further surgery is required depends on the individual, their implants, clinical findings, symptoms and appropriate imaging. Ongoing breast and implant monitoring remains important, even when there are no significant concerns.
