Breast implants are not meant to last a lifetime. Many women have them replaced at some point in the future. Matters such as pregnany, weight loss or weight gain, desire for bigger breasts, all bring women back to the operating table.

I have seen a number of women in our clinics who have had their implants for fifteen years or more. They usually return because of the effects of ageing on the breasts and many opt to have a change of implants , sometimes with a breast uplift ( mastopexy) to lift them at the same time.

If you are concerned about your breast implants after all of this time, see your family Doctor or visit a Plastic Surgeon. You could have a scan to see if the implant is intact and everything looks okay.

What size cup are 450cc breast implants?

Without knowing the breast size you have to begin with it's impossible to answer this question, plus the size of your ribcage and chest wall also make a significant difference. The profile of the implant also plays a big role, as does whether the breast implants are round or contoured. A high profile implant stands out from the chest further than a medium or low profile implant of the same size. As a very general guide, 450cc breast implantswould be regarded as providing on average a bra size increase of two to three cup sizes. While you will have about 20 minutes to try out 450cc breast implant sizers in the surgeons office, you can also use breast implant sizers at home with breast implant sizing systems. For example, you could try 400cc, 450cc, and 500cc breast implant sizers to see what size is best for you. When you consider how important the breast implant size decision is, it is well worth the small cost to try on various sizes to make a smart decision.

Is sucking and pressing bad for breast or it may lead to breast cancer at the time mensuration?

No, sucking and pressing isn't bad for your breast, and it won't lead to breast cancer.Women should talk with their doctor to determine their specific risk of breast cancer. All women should perform monthly breast self-examinations. Clinical breast examinations by a doctor should occur at least once every three years for women 20 to 39 years of age. Beginning at age 40, women should have yearly clinical breast exams by their doctor and yearly mammograms.
