Abstract
Since silicone gel breast implants have been rehabilitated in 2001, we advised our patients to change prosthesis after 10Â years. Our study including 150 patients shows clearly the rupture rate is very high (60%) for the textured prosthesis after 10Â years, whereas it is much low for the double lumen implants (18%) after 14Â years. This study and literature lead us to be very careful and change prosthesis every 12 or 13Â years.
