It depends on the type of bottom bracket in use. If it's a square taper cartridge BB it's not necessary. Outboard bearing styles require require square shell facing for longevity. If you have the outboard bearing style and you've had the bike for a couple years with no bearing problems, it's a good indicator of a BB shell that is good to go. Needs only to be faced square once. There's nothing to cause that surface to wear.
