Breast implant replacement

Why Consider Breast Implant Replacement?

‍

Breast implants typically last 10 to 15 years, but replacement may be needed sooner based on personal preferences or medical concerns. Reasons for breast implant replacement may include:

• Size or Shape Change: You may wish to adjust the size, projection, or profile of your implants to better reflect your current aesthetic goals. Whether opting for larger or smaller implants, or moving from round to more natural shapes, our team can guide you in selecting the perfect fit.

• Aging Implants: Implants, particularly older models, may wear out over time. Many women choose to replace their implants after 10 to 15 years to upgrade to newer, more durable, and natural-feeling options like Motiva® implants.

• Capsular Contracture: This condition occurs when the scar tissue around the implant hardens, causing discomfort or changes in the breast’s appearance. In such cases, implant replacement with capsulectomy (removal of scar tissue) can restore both comfort and aesthetics.

‍• Implant Rupture or Leakage: If your implant has ruptured or is leaking, immediate replacement is recommended to restore symmetry and maintain your desired breast appearance.

‍• Switching Implant Types: Some patients opt to switch from saline to silicone implants (or vice versa) or choose newer technologies like Motiva Ergonomix® implants, which respond naturally to movement and offer a more realistic appearance.

Our Breast Implant Replacement Process

‍

1. Comprehensive Consultation with 3D Visualization: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where we evaluate your current implants, understand your aesthetic goals, and use Adoreal’s 3D technology to preview different implant types, sizes, and profiles. This allows you to confidently make choices about your new look.

2. Tailored Surgical Plan: Once your desired results are clear, our team develops a personalized surgical plan. We’ll work with you to determine whether you want to change your implant type, size, or shape. We can also discuss additional procedures like breast lifts or fat transfers to enhance your results.

3. Safe, Minimally Invasive Surgery: Our skilled surgeons perform your implant replacement with precision, focusing on minimizing scarring by using the same incision sites as your previous surgery whenever possible. Our goal is to ensure a safe, efficient procedure with long-lasting results.

4. Post-Surgery Care & Monitoring: Following your procedure, we offer detailed aftercare instructions and continuous support to ensure a smooth recovery. Adoreal’s health monitoring tools also allow us to keep track of your healing process and address any concerns as they arise. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and are back to their regular activities within a few weeks.

Breast Implant Replacement with Additional Procedures

‍

In some cases, breast implant replacement may be combined with other procedures to achieve the best possible result. Our expert team can guide you through complementary options such as:

• Breast Lift (Mastopexy): If you’re replacing older implants and experiencing sagging or loss of firmness, a breast lift can be performed simultaneously to restore youthful contour and elevate the breast position.

• Fat Transfer: For patients seeking a more natural appearance, we can combine implant replacement with fat transfer, using your body’s own fat to enhance volume and provide a softer, natural look.

• Capsulectomy: For patients experiencing capsular contracture, we remove the scar tissue surrounding the implant, ensuring a smoother, more comfortable outcome with your new implants.

What to Expect During Recovery

‍

• Minimal Downtime: With minimally invasive techniques, most patients can return to work and light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, with full recovery typically achieved within 4-6 weeks.

• Comprehensive Aftercare: We provide full post-operative support and monitoring, ensuring a smooth recovery. Any discomfort you experience will be managed with appropriate care, and our team is always available to address any questions.

• Long-Lasting Results: Modern implants, particularly Motiva® models, are designed for durability and long-term safety. You can expect your results to last many years, with a natural look and feel.
