Implant Exchange

Upgrade or replace existing implants for a fresh look.

The Philosophy

Breast implant exchange is for patients looking to change the size or type of their current implants, or to replace older implants. This procedure can be combined with a breast lift to refine the shape while updating the implant material.

Common Inquiries

Why should I consider an exchange?

Patients often choose exchange to update to newer technology, change their breast size, or address capsular contracture.

Is the recovery easier than the first surgery

Many patients find the recovery from an exchange to be faster and less intense than their initial augmentation.

Can I switch from saline to silicone?

Yes. Many patients choose to switch to silicone gel during an exchange for a more natural look and feel.

Do I need a new lift as well?

If skin laxity has increased since your original surgery, a lift may be recommended to ensure correct positioning.
