I am 20 years old, and I have heard that once you have brest implants that they have to be taken out in 10 years, is this true?

 And what is the cost of implants thierself and not a lift?

Dear Brandy:
         There is no specific time time to have your implants replaced. If you are happy with them you can keep them forever. In general most patients will have them exchanged every 15 to 20 years. The costs is the same as a breast augmentation $4500 to $6000 depending on the patients anatomy an difficulty of the case.
