While facial implants are designed to be long-lasting, there is a possibility that they may need to be replaced at some point in the future. The need for replacement can vary depending on factors such as individual aging, changes in facial structure, and personal preferences. Your surgeon will assess your situation during follow-up appointments and provide guidance on the longevity of your facial implants, ensuring you have a clear understanding of any potential future procedures.
