WHAT IS BREAST IMPLANT EXCHANGE OR REVISION SURGERY?

During a breast implant exchange, your current breast implants will be removed from the breast pocket and replaced with brand-new 5th generation breast implants. This surgical procedure is designed to renew your initial augmentation results or improve the unsatisfactory outcome of your previous surgery.

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgeries performed today, yet revision and replacement rates following primary augmentation are as high as 36 percent.

Every patient should love their enhanced breasts. If your results failed to meet your expectations, breast implant revision, removal and exchange in Scottsdale might be an option for you. Choosing Jonathan Dang, MD as your plastic surgeon will help put your mind at ease and achieve your desired results with his unmatched competency in breast augmentation and the techniques he employs for successful implant replacement surgeries.

REASONS TO CONSIDER A BREAST IMPLANT EXCHANGE

There are several reasons women decide to replace their implants. Some of the most common rationales for getting a breast implant exchange are:

AGED IMPLANTS

Most saline and silicone breast implants are FDA approved for 10 to 20 years, which takes into account advances in breast implant technology, the emergence of toughened scar tissue in one or both breasts, and the probability of ruptures, among other considerations. However, you can safely go beyond these time frames, as most breast augmentation patients only undergo one or two replacements in their lifetime.

UNEVEN BREASTS

While asymmetry is natural for most women, following breast augmentation, some patients may notice more significant asymmetry. Your surgeon may be able to resolve this issue.

CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE

Capsular contracture is the formation of hard scar tissue around an implant, causing the breasts to appear distorted, asymmetric, and feel hard to the touch.

UNRESOLVED BREAST PTOSIS

Women who had significant breast sagging and elected not to include a mastopexy or breast lift with their augmentation may experience more significant drooping.

WRONG IMPLANT SIZE OR TYPE

Sometimes, the initial breast implants may be too wide and low, or do not fit the patient’s frame. Some patients also experience a change of heart, desiring to go from saline to silicone implants and vice versa.

If you’re experiencing any of these concerns, schedule a consultation with Dr. Dang so he can carefully evaluate your anatomy, prior surgery, and goals and recommend a customized surgical plan tailored to your needs.

HOW A BREAST IMPLANT EXCHANGE BENEFITS YOU

This surgical procedure can correct bothersome aspects of your primary breast enhancement. Specifically, exchange augmentation can:

Replace ruptured breast implants
Replace older-generation implants
Correct the position of breast implants that have migrated down
Improve the effects of capsular contracture, such as hardened implants
Address the look of implant rippling
Restore volume and perkiness in the upper area of the breasts
Improve breast symmetry
Balance aesthetically pleasing breasts and restored self-confidence

HOW THE IMPLANT EXCHANGE PROCEDURE WORKS

Your Scottsdale breast implant replacement surgery will begin with your surgeon marking the area where he will create incisions to remove the implant. In most cases, his markings will be based on any existing scars to minimize the appearance of scarring. Administering general anesthesia will ensure your comfort during the explant surgery.

The nature of implant revision surgery differs depending on the type of implant you choose for replacement. In some cases, your surgeon will place the implant under the breast tissue above the muscle, whereas in other instances, he will position the implant under the chest muscle.

Recovering from a breast implant exchange is similar to recovering from breast augmentation.

You may return to work after a week and may engage in more strenuous activities during the sixth week of recovery. You will meet with Dr. Dang for multiple post-operative appointments to gauge your progress.

The expected results after breast implant exchange in Scottsdale are:

Smaller or larger breasts, depending on your goals
Improved positioning of the implants
More aesthetically pleasing breasts relative to your body
Improved self-esteem and better overall quality of life
