Based on that data, FDA said Wednesday that 20 percent to 40 percent of patients who have implants for cosmetic reasons will need another operation to modify or remove them within eight to 10 years.
For reconstruction patients, the number is even higher at 40 to 70 percent, FDA said.
The most common complication remains scar tissue that hardens around the implant, and that can become severe enough to warp the shape of the breast or cause pain. Other problems include implant rupture, wrinkling and a lopsided appearance, according to the report.

So it seems that beautiful breasts today may not be so beautiful tomorrow. This would certainly make me think twice about getting implants.
