When you are planning for your initial breast augmentation surgery, it may not occur to you to even consider the possibility that another round of surgery may be in your future. However, according to most experts in the field, women who opt for breast implants should plan on having to have them surgically removed and replaced at least once, and maybe even two or more times, depending on the age at which the implants were first inserted. Chances are good that you will be undergoing breast implant removal surgery at least once in your life, but it may turn out to be sooner than you planned if an emergency removal is required due to rupture, leakage, deflation, migration, or other problems with the device itself. On the other hand, if you begin to experience severe health problems after your implants are placed, you may have to have them removed until doctors can isolate the cause of your problem.
