I am considering getting my boobs fixed. would i have to keep replacing them if i did this?

Breast augmentation: It depends on if you are talking about a breast reduction or getting breast implants. A breast reduction usually doesn't need to be "fixed" later on in life. If you are considering breast implants, most plastic surgeons feel they should be replaced every 10 years or do.
