Who Should Consider Breast Implant Revision and Exchange?

Candidates for Breast Implant Revision and Exchange are individuals who have previously undergone breast augmentation but are now seeking adjustments due to various reasons. These may include dissatisfaction with the size, shape, or type of the initial implants, complications such as leakage or rupture, capsular contracture (scar tissue formation around the implant), or changes in personal preferences or body shape over time. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes, and are looking for improvement rather than perfection. A consultation with a specialist is crucial to determine suitability for the procedure.

What to Expect When Getting Breast Implant Revision and Exchange?

 

Undergoing Breast Implant Revision and Exchange begins with a detailed consultation to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and examine your current implants. This is followed by a customized surgical plan tailored to your specific needs. The procedure itself varies based on the extent of the revision needed but typically involves general anesthesia. The surgeon may use the original incision sites to remove or replace the implants, adjust their position, or correct any asymmetry or complications. The focus is on minimizing additional scarring and achieving a balanced, natural-looking result.

Preparing for your procedure

Preparation for Breast Implant Revision and Exchange involves several steps to ensure the best possible outcomes. This includes undergoing a thorough medical evaluation, discussing your aesthetic goals in detail, and following pre-surgical instructions such as avoiding certain medications and fasting before the procedure. Patients are also advised to arrange for someone to assist with transportation and recovery immediately following the surgery. Adhering to these preparatory steps, as guided by your surgeon, is crucial for a smooth surgical experience and recovery.

    Breast Implant Revision and Exchange Surgery Recovery

    Recovery from Breast Implant Revision and Exchange varies by individual but generally follows a similar trajectory to the initial breast augmentation. Initial swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal, with prescribed pain management to ease this phase. Patients are typically advised to take it easy for a few weeks, avoiding strenuous activities and following specific post-operative care instructions to support healing. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor progress and ensure the healing process is on track.

        Pain Management, What To Expect?

        Pain management after Breast Implant Revision and Exchange is a critical component of the recovery process. Patients can expect to receive detailed pain management plans tailored to their specific needs, including medications to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. It’s important to follow these recommendations closely and communicate with your medical team about any pain that feels abnormal or unmanageable, ensuring a comfortable recovery phase.

            Additional FAQs

            How Often Should Women have Breast Implant Exchange Surgery?
            Most women elect to change their breast implants once every 10 years. Over time, breast plants can change in size and shape while the breast tissue simultaneously changes. For these reasons women will typically have breast implant exchange surgery about once a decade to ensure the right implant size is consistent with the desired look and the way the breast tissue grows.

            Finally, breast implant revision surgery is not a routine or standard procedure; it requires a customized approach to provide the right solution to the patient’s desires and goals. Dr. Peter Grossman is board certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience in performing high-quality breast implant revision and breast implant exchange surgery that meets the patient’s needs while orchestrating surgical plans that address all of the fine points that revolve around the surgery.

            What to Expect in a Breast Implant Exchange Consultation?
            To achieve your dream of having the perfect breasts you need to have an in-person consultation at Grossman Medical with our leading breast surgeon. During your breast exchange consultation, your doctor will listen to your concerns and needs surrounding your breasts. He will also examine your previous surgical report and he will research your current breast implants, as well as the mockup images of the breasts who want to achieve through the implant exchange surgery. Then the surgeon will perform a physical exam in which precise measurements will be taken and will help you choose the right implant size while delving into the art and science of the method to achieve the ideal look. Just remember that the size, width and shape have to fit within the chest wall.
