If you get breast implants and then do not replace the breast implants then you risk getting inflammation and infection which could lead to other health issues.

If the breast implant is a Silicone breast implant and the Silicone breast implant ruptures then it could lead to pain and inflammation.

If you have old breast implants that are due for replacement and you experience any pain or other issues then see a doctor about it.

If the breast implants are causing you pain and they have ruptured then most health insurance will cover the cost of removing the breast implants.

Although the health insurance does not cover the cost of new breast implants they will mostly cover the cost of removing them if deemed medically necessary.

Breast implants usually need replaced after 10 to 20 years however some people have the breast implants removed before then because of complications.
