BREAST IMPLANT REPLACEMENT

BREAST IMPLANT REPLACEMENT DESCRIPTION

Breast implant replacement in Orlando can remove breast implants from a previous surgery and replace them with implants that better complement your figure. Also known as breast implant revision or revision breast augmentation, this procedure can be performed for cosmetic or medical reasons. Some patients choose breast implant replacement because they are unhappy with the results of a previous breast augmentation surgery. Others would like to replace their breast implants because their implants are no longer proportional to their physique. Additionally, certain medical circumstances may require a breast implant replacement. If your implant is leaking or has ruptured, then it should be replaced. If you are experiencing an infection as a result of breast implant surgery, then you may need to have your implants replaced. Finally, capsular contracture (the formation of hardened scar tissue around the implant) is a rare condition that requires breast implant replacement.

Our Orlando breast surgeons specialize in breast implant revision to help you achieve more natural-looking results. Patients can opt for larger or smaller implants, as well as different shapes, depending on their procedure goals. During your breast implant replacement consultation, our plastic surgeons will discuss your options, as well as your desired results.

BREAST IMPLANT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

During breast implant replacement, incisions are made around the breasts. The placement of these incisions will vary depending on the type of implants used, as well as the individual patient. Our breast surgeon will remove your breast implants, as well as the scar tissue surrounding your implants (capsules). Once your implants are removed, your new breast implants will be carefully inserted and the incisions are then closed.

You can expect some moderate bruising and swelling to occur for a week or so following breast implant replacement in Orlando. Most patients resume work and some daily activities within a week. Strenuous activities and rigorous exercise are not recommended for a few weeks so your body has an ample amount of time to heal and recover. Breast implant replacement is designed to achieve long-lasting results. Patients can expect more symmetrical, proportional, and natural-looking breasts following breast implant revision.
