Is there a physical limit to how many revisions one could receive?

Hey everyone. Just a quick question. I've seen some people on the peyroniesforum claim that the max number of revisions one can or should receive is around four. I'm wondering if there's any evidence for this.
Being a very young guy myself about to have an implant done in a little under three weeks, I'm certainly concerned about the number of revisions I may have to go thru, and I think rightfully so. If I'm lucky and my implants last closer to twenty years, I could never need more than three or four, but even if my implant's last perhaps closer to the average of ten years or so, I may finding myself having four implants by the time I'm 60. And that says nothing for what if I have early or frequent malfunctions and need far more revisions in a short time.
I know that the risk of infection with revisions is higher, (Although infections don't mean your dick is gone, you can still be re-implanted) but Dr. Eid states that in very experienced hands the increased risk of infections is incredibly small. Is there something about revisions that puts some sort of permanent effect on the penis that would limit revisions to four? Is there some sort of accumulating damage done to the penis that adds up and eventually prevents more revisions?
Let's say we had a man who we knew was going to live for 200 years following his first implant. Is there any reason this man couldn't have as many revisions as needed for the rest of his life, provided that he continued to choose top penile implant specialists for all those revisions?
I still plan on moving ahead with this decision, I have pretty severe ED currently, pills and injections do not work, and I've never been able to have a satisfying sexual encounter, so if I had to choose between complete ED now and complete ED when I'm sixty, you know I'm choosing complete ED when I'm 60. I'm just very hopeful that it would never have to come to that and I could keep getting revisions as needed.
