What Is a Breast Implant Replacement?

Breast implant replacement (or breast implant exchange) 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. Breast implant replacement in Jacksonville 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 with newer technology implants 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 Jacksonville 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:

Consultation

Our surgeons will review your medical history, details of previous augmentation procedures, and your aesthetic goals.

Surgery

The current implants will be carefully removed, and the surrounding tissue or muscle will be reshaped to prepare for the new implants.

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 we use at our office that lets you see what different sizes and implant shapes 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.
