Breast Implant Exchange Surgery
Breast augmentation is known to offer one of the highest rates of success and satisfaction among thousands of women undergoing plastic surgery each year. Enhancing the chest with perkier and full breasts has proven to boost a patient’s confidence and self-esteem. However, breast implants are not permanent lifetime devices. As years progress after a patient’s initial breast augmentation surgery, some women may feel their breasts change in shape, size or touch. Some women may go decades without noticing a difference while others select to have their breast implants exchanged within the first five, ten or fifteen years after surgery.
Breast implant exchange surgery is a procedure usually performed under general anesthesia to remove existing implants and replace with new implants. There are many reasons why patients undergo this surgery each year. Perhaps you have experienced an implant rupture or deflation and desire to replace with new implants to restore breast symmetry and volume. Maybe your implants may no longer lend the correct volume or shape to your changed breasts after pregnancy and breast feeding. Or you are just tired of having implants that are too large or small for your frame. What ever your individual needs may be, it may be addressed with breast implant exchange surgey .
Breast implant exchange surgery is generally less invasive and easier than the initial breast augmentation. There may be some capsule tissue adjustments or repositioning during your second surgery, but patients tend to experience less discomfort than their original surgery. Depending on the circumstance, your implants may be under warranty and the manufacturer may help with some of the costs associated with them removed and replaced. There are alternatives to exchanging the implants. Some women find that removing the implants altogether and/or combinging it with a breast lift may suite their lifestyle and desires.
