As far as I'm aware, silicone is fine until about ten years later when it must be handled gently and sometimes needs replacing.

Modern implants can last for up to 25 years so this has less importance but it is the earlier versions that run a high risk of popping especially when handled carelessly or vigorously...

Err, i'll be off now.
