Implant Lifetime

[barrosa]

Hey guys,

What is the lifetime of an implant?

I am worried because i am young and i wouldnt like be surgered each 5-10 years because my implant needs to be replaced.

I was thinking to choose semirigid implant instead to hidraulic implant in order to avoid that.

Also, every implants has lifetime warranty? If it fails.. i dont have to pay again?

Thank you!

There are guys here who have had implants over 15 years and others replaced much sooner. Your logic about semi-rigid sounds right, but my surgeon said the constant pressure in the inside of the glans can cause erosion of the tissues and that becomes a problem needing to be corrected.
