Before β© After: Breast Implant Revision & Exchangeβ¨
Breast implants arenβt lifetime devices, and over time, patients may experience changes in breast shape, firmness, comfort, or aesthetic preferences. In some cases, complications such as capsular contracture - when scar tissue tightens around an implant - may lead to the need for revision surgery.
Breast implant exchange or revision may be considered for several reasons:
-Capsular contracture or changes in breast shape
-Implant rupture or leakage
-A desire to change implant size, shape, or type
-Changes in aesthetic goals over time
-Concerns related to previous breast surgery
At Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons routinely perform complex secondary and tertiary breast implant revision procedures, addressing challenging cases and helping patients explore options tailored to their individual needs and goals.
Wondering if itβs time to have your implants checked? Regular follow-up with a board-certified plastic surgeon is important for long-term implant care. Your surgeon can evaluate your implants, discuss any changes or concerns, and recommend imaging when appropriate. Some complications may occur without noticeable symptoms, making routine monitoring important.
