  • Desire for a different implant size or shape
  • Correcting rippling, rupture, or capsular contracture
  • Updating older implants with modern technology
  • Refining results for improved balance and proportion

Step-by-Step: What to Expect During Surgery

  1. Consultation with your surgeon to discuss goals, medical history, and implant options.
  2. Anesthesia is administered for comfort.
  3. Incisions are made, often using the same placement as the original surgery.
  4. Old implants are removed, and the pocket is refined if necessary.
  5. New implants are inserted and adjusted for balance.
  6. Incisions are carefully closed, and dressings are applied.

Recovery and Results Timeline

Recovery from breast implant exchange typically takes one to two weeks for daily activities, with full healing continuing for several months. Swelling diminishes gradually, and most patients see final results within three to six months. Following your surgeon’s guidance helps ensure natural results that endure over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do breast implants typically last?

While not lifetime devices, most implants last 10–15 years before replacement may be considered.

What risks are associated with implant exchange?

Potential risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, or capsular contracture, though these are minimized with expert surgical care.

Can I change both the size and type of implant at once?

Yes, many patients combine adjustments for size, shape, and material in a single surgery.

Is recovery shorter than the initial augmentation?

In many cases, yes. Recovery may be smoother since the pocket already exists, but healing time varies by patient.

Will insurance cover breast implant exchange?

Coverage depends on whether the exchange is medically necessary or purely cosmetic. Our staff can help review your options.
