Implants become part of your everyday life. A few sensible habits keep your result looking good and support your long-term health.
Day to day
- Wear supportive bras, especially for exercise, to limit tissue stretch.
- Maintain a stable weight and look after your skin.
Health and screening
- Know how your breasts normally look and feel; report changes such as lumps, firmness, pain or one-sided swelling.
- Continue routine breast screening and always tell staff you have implants, so appropriate views are used.
- Keep your implant card and details safe.
Planning ahead
Remember implants are not lifetime devices; stay aware of the signs that warrant review and anticipate possible future surgery. See long-term recovery and long-term complications.
