How Many Breast Surgeries Will You Need in a Lifetime?

Carbs
I continually read that implants are not a "lifetime" medical device and one should anticipate one other surgery. It seems most doctors agree that the average implant lifespan is 10 years so according to my calculations, if I am 30, I should really plan on having 3-5 surgeries in my lifetime. The thought of going through surgery multiple times as am aging and in all likelihood will have other medial concerns is a huge deterrent for me. What is the research if any?
