What Is Breast Implant Replacement?

Breast implant replacement is a surgical procedure that removes existing breast implants and replaces them with a new set. Patients pursue replacement for a range of reasons, including a desire for a different size or implant type, changes in the body over time, or reaching the point in an implant's lifespan where proactive replacement is recommended.

The Benefits of Breast Implant Replacement in Flowood

  • Updated Size or Shape: Replacement allows you to adjust your results if your goals have changed since your original augmentation.

  • Addressed Aging Implants: Replacing implants proactively, before complications arise, can help you stay ahead of any age-related concerns.
  • Combined Shape Correction: Replacement can be paired with a lift if your breast position has changed since your original surgery.

Is Breast Implant Replacement Right for Me?

Breast implant replacement is a good option for patients looking to change their implant size or type, address the natural aging of existing implants, or simply update their results to match how their body and goals have changed over time. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your current implants and discuss whether replacement alone or replacement combined with a lift is the right approach.

The Breast Implant Replacement Process What to Expect

1. Private Consultation

We evaluate your current implants, discuss what you'd like to change, and review your goals for your new results.

2. Personalized Surgical Plan

We select new implant size, type, and placement, and determine whether a lift should be included.

3. Procedure Day

Surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes one to two hours, depending on the specifics of your plan.

4. Initial Healing Phase

You'll experience some swelling and tenderness in the days following surgery, with initial improvement over the first week or two.

Your Breast Implant Replacement Results and Recovery

Most patients take about a week off from work and normal activities, with strenuous exercise and heavy lifting restricted for several weeks longer.

Swelling gradually subsides over the following weeks, and your new implants will continue to settle into their final position over the following months. 

As with your original augmentation, we'll schedule periodic follow-up visits to monitor your new implants over time.

Breast Implant Replacement Frequently Asked Questions

How often do breast implants need to be replaced?

Implants aren't considered lifetime devices, and many manufacturers suggest monitoring or potential replacement after ten to fifteen years, though this varies by patient and implant type.

Can I change my implant size during replacement?

Yes. Replacement is a good opportunity to adjust your size or implant type if your goals have changed since your original surgery.

Do I need a replacement if I'm not experiencing any problems?

Not necessarily. Some patients choose proactive replacement based on their implant's age, while others continue with implants that remain problem-free for many years. We can discuss the right timeline for you during your consultation.

Will I need a lift during replacement?

This depends on how your breast position has changed since your original surgery. We'll evaluate this during your consultation and discuss whether a lift is recommended.

Can I switch from saline to silicone implants, or vice versa?

Yes, replacement is a common opportunity to switch implant types if you're interested in a different option than the one you originally chose.

How long before I can return to normal activity?

Most patients return to work within a week, with a gradual return to exercise and strenuous activity over the following several weeks.

Is financing available for breast implant replacement?

Yes, we offer financing options for patients interested in learning more. Ask our team during your consultation for details.
