If you are no longer satisfied with your current breast implants, a breast implant exchange in Merritt Island & Melbourne, Florida at Clevens Face and Body Specialists can give you the opportunity to replace those implants and achieve the look and feel that you would prefer.
The board-certified plastic surgeons at Clevens Face and Body Specialists perform breast implant exchange surgery for patients who are unhappy with their current bust size or who need simple implant corrections. In either case, our surgical team brings extensive experience to each procedure, creating results that will restore your look and boost your overall quality of life.
While breast implant revision surgery is performed soon after the initial surgery, breast implant exchange surgery is most frequently performed when patients feel that they would be better suited by a change in implant size or by switching over to a more modern breast implant type. If this sounds like the right option for you, reach out to our Merritt Island or Melbourne, FL locations and set up your consultation with a member of our team.

If you're unhappy with the look of your current breast augmentation or have been experiencing issues with your breast implants, a breast implant exchange may be an excellent choice for you. Patients often seek out this procedure when they find that they have entered a different stage in life and would prefer a new size or type of breast implant. The most common candidates for breast implant exchange surgery are women having trouble with their current breast implants. When you visit Clevens Face and Body Specialists, you’ll meet with an extensively experienced breast and body contouring specialist who will get to know your concerns and help you find a solution to the issues that you’ve brought to us.
Capsular contracture refers to the uncomfortable hardening of tissue around a breast implant. When a breast implant is placed, the patient’s body will naturally form a tissue capsule around it. In some rare cases, this tissue capsule can tighten and harden. While this often causes an appearance that is less than ideal, it can also cause severe discomfort.
In some cases, saline implants can also rupture or leak. If you suspect that this has happened to you, we recommend reaching out to your surgeon as soon as possible. Implant rupture or leakage often motivates women to exchange their saline implants for modern silicone gel implants, which offer an enhanced level of safety and resilience.
During your consultation, you’ll talk over the options for your breast implant exchange procedure in detail, before choosing from one of the following options.
If you're unhappy with your saline implants and want to switch to silicone implants, we can easily replace them using the same incision line. Details like the weight differences of each type of implant will be discussed with you before surgery, so you can make the most informed possible decision.

Some patients are interested in increasing the size of their implants. If this sounds like you, we’ll work with you to find the implant size that aligns with your personal goals and lifestyle. By using implant spacers with a sports bra, we can actually help you “try on” different implant sizes before your procedure.
Are my implants permanent?
Is a saline or silicone implant better for a natural look?
Is it safe to get pregnant after breast augmentation surgery?
Should I consider a breast implant exchange if my other implants are old?
Breast implants have a long life and can help your breasts maintain a youthful appearance. However, they are not intended to last a lifetime and some women will find that they need to have a breast implant revision in the future.
Both saline and silicone implants can result in a natural look. Modern techniques have improved the naturalistic appearance of implants, so you can enjoy the most natural-looking augmentation possible.
Yes. Breast implants are completely safe for pregnant women and pose no additional risks, although pregnancy and nursing can cause the breasts to sag. Some women choose to have a secondary breast augmentation or a breast lift after having children.
If you are still pleased with the results of your original augmentation, then there may be little reason to have another. However, if you want to enhance your look or change the size of your bust, then breast re-augmentation may be a good option. The best way to find out if a breast implant exchange is right for you is to schedule a consultation with our breast and body specialists.
