Breast Implant Replacement
in Jacksonville, FL

Our Plastic Surgeons at Coastal Cosmetic Center, Timothy E. Fee, MD, and Jordan A. Bilezikian, MD, specialize in breast implant replacement. This can be performed to address concerns with previous breast augmentation procedures to help you achieve the beautiful, natural results you desire. Whether you’re looking to change the size or type of your implants, correct irregularities, or refresh your look, our expert surgeons and staff are here to guide you every step of the way.

What Is a Breast Implant Replacement?

Breast Implant replacement is a surgical procedure to remove and replace existing breast implants. It is usually performed through a small incision overlying your previous incisions, which helps reduce your overall scars. This procedure is ideal for women who:

  • Wish to change the size, shape, or type of their implants.
  • Are experiencing complications such as rippling, deflation, or hardening of implants.
  • Desire a refreshed look to reflect their current aesthetic goals.

Why Consider a Breast Implant Replacement?

Over time, personal aesthetic goals and physical needs may change.

Breast implant replacement may allow you to achieve:

  • Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Customize your implants to better suit your desired look.
  • Improved Comfort: Replace older implants for newer technology impants that have a softer, more natural feel.
  • Restored Confidence: Address issues like implant rippling, deflation, or asymmetry.

What Can I Expect If I Want to Get My Breast Implants Replaced?

Your Breast Implant replacement procedure will be performed under general anesthesia in our state-of-the-art, nationally accredited outpatient surgery center in Jacksonville, FL. It is in the same building as our primary office location off of Southpoint Drive. 

Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Consultation: Our surgeons will review your medical history, previous augmentation details, and your aesthetic goals.
  2. Surgery: The current implants will be carefully removed, and the surrounding tissue or muscle will be reshaped to prepare for the new implants.
  3. Recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, while strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.

 

What is a Virtual 3D Breast Augmentation Simulator App?

There is a virtual 3D breast augmentation simulator app that we use at our office that allows you to simulate what different size and different form implants may look like after they are placed during surgery. This can be a more realistic appearance compared to traditional implant sizers that are placed in your bra to simulate your projected post operative bust size. You are able to see what your breast surgery results will look like in real time. With these options available in the office, you can better visualize what your projected results will be after you have recovered and healed from your surgery.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery from Breast Implant Replacement varies depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure.

Most patients can:

  • Return to daily activities within a few days.
  • Resume light exercise, like walking, after a week (as advised by your surgeon).
  • Avoid high-impact activities or heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks to ensure optimal healing.

Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and support you to ensure your recovery is smooth and successful.

 

What is the Cost of a Breast Implant Replacement?

During your consultation, our team will create a personalized treatment plan and provide a cost estimate. Since all procedures and the extent of surgery can be different between patients, the cost can vary depending upon multiple factors.
