Replace implants from an earlier augmentation.

Why a Breast Implant Exchange?

Correct implant issues or update to fit where you are in life.

Unlike breast implant revision surgery, which is performed when someone is not satisfied with their first procedure soon after surgery, breast implant exchange is a treatment for patients who want to replace implants from prior augmentation with a different size or a more modern implant. Breast implant exchange is for those who are having issues with their current implant or are at a different point in their life.

Hear Amy Simon, MD, FACS, explain when to consider a breast implant exchange.

Breast Implant Exchange Benefits

Enhance the shape and restore a youthful appearance to your breasts.

Get implants that resolve any issues you may have experienced with your old implants and that are a better reflection of where you are in your life. You can choose from a range of sizes that better match your current lifestyle, as well as multiple silicone or saline implant types. Dr. Simon will discuss which implants may be best for your body and your goals.

After your breast implant exchange, you’ll benefit from natural-looking breasts with a more modern implant. Breast implant exchange surgery is often combined with a breast lift for optimal results.

Listen to Dr. Simon explain how you can choose the size for your breast implant exchange.

Breast Implant Exchange Recovery

Return home on the same day as the surgery.

As an outpatient procedure, breast implant exchange typically allows you to return home on the same day as the surgery. While you may have some additional fullness for a few days, you’ll see it continue to subside over several weeks. Most patients return to work within a few days, as long as no heavy lifting or pushing is involved.
