How Often Do You Have to Get Your Breasts "Refreshed"?

December 2, 2010
Asked By:Ontario2173 in Ontario, CA

I've heard that after my initial breast augmentation surgery, I have to come back a certain amount of years after (6-7 yrs) to the operating room to get my implants refreshed (take the old ones out and put new ones in). Is this true?
