I think that's a question for each person to ask their surgeon.

True, every case is different, it depends on the patient and it depends on the surgeon. But the surgeons don't control the durability of the hip replacements, and so most surgeons would be very reluctant to replace the hip of a 46 y.o. or 51 year old. As always, YMMV
Back when they used metal replacement hips, I think they lasted much longer. But the metal inserts turned out to have toxic effects. The ceramic ones, as I said, tend to last 20 years or so, though it depends on factors such as how active the person is. The more active, the faster they wear out.
