Do jaw or chin implants have to be replaced every so years?

Gordon12
This might sound strange but i was wondering if a jaw implant is similar to breast implants to where they have replace them every now and then. Do jaw implants stay there permanently or do you have replace them every now and again to avoid infection or any type of trouble. Thank you so much for your help, and hope this question doesn't sound too odd.
