Breast Implant Replacement: Plastic Surgery Royal✓

Breast implant replacement is a surgical procedure that involves removing existing silicone or saline implants and replacing them with new ones for medical, aesthetic, or personal reasons. Although modern implants are designed to be long-lasting and safe, they are not permanent. It is generally recommended to replace them every 10 to 15 years, or sooner if complications arise or if there is a desire to change the size, shape, or type of implant.

The implant replacement process can be straightforward; however, it is often combined with additional procedures, such as a breast lift (mastopexy), correction of capsular contracture, repositioning the implant (from subglandular to subpectoral), or addressing any aesthetic irregularities that occurred after the initial surgery.

Common reasons for deciding to replace implants include:

• Physical damage to the implant (such as rupture or leakage)
• The appearance of capsular contracture (thickening of tissue around the implant)
• Aesthetic changes (such as changes in breast appearance over the years)
• The desire for larger or smaller implants
• Changes in breast position or symmetry

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts between one to two hours. Recovery is generally faster than with the initial augmentation, with most patients able to return to their daily activities within 5 to 10 days. However, it is advisable to wait a few weeks before resuming physical activity.
