There are many factors that go into this equation (underlying cause, current age, gender, medical conditions, health status, lifestyle, etc). Here's one article I found for you:
According to a 2006 Science Daily article, "...those aged between 17 and 34 had the highest life expectancy of 28 years after a liver transplant."
They also found that, "transplant recipients with primary liver disease fared significantly better than those undergoing the procedure because of hepatitis C infection, cirrhosis, or cancer."
Can you provide more information, and I can do some more research (or, we can ask our medical experts) so that the answers your specific situation.
