Do breast implants really have to be redone every 10 years?

I was thinking about getting implants in a few years and was wondering if they really have to be redone every 10 years. I heard this yesterday but I wasn't sure how true it was. Anyone that knows please answer! Thanks!

Do breast implants really have to be redone every 10 years?
Generally, they do. Each implant has a certain lifetime, after which the risk of leaks, rupture, or just general deterioration increases measurably. You can leave them in longer, and some women have done so successfully, but the horror stories I've heard (and seen!) don't seem worth it to me. Also, some women have experienced problems long before the published lifetime of their implants, so it varies depending on your physiology and physical activity.
