You do not need to have breast revision surgery after a set number of years. Although, some women choose to replace their breast implants before the 10-year mark because manufacturers will cover a portion of the surgical costs of replacing an implant within 10 years of breast augmentation. Breast implants come with a lifetime replacement warranty, which means you are eligible for a free replacement implant, but you must pay for all of the revision surgery if it is performed after the 10-year mark. For that reason, some women choose revision surgery while the warranty still applies.
