At the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery, we’re committed to your satisfaction through:
We listen carefully to design treatment plans addressing your unique concerns
We’ll explain clearly what results you can expect and when
Consider exchange if you’re experiencing complications like capsular contracture or rupture, you’ve had significant body changes through pregnancy or weight fluctuations, you want a different size or implant type, or your implants are 10+ years old. During consultation, we’ll help evaluate if an exchange is appropriate for you.
Absolutely! Many women update to newer implant types during the exchange. We can switch between saline and silicone gel or to newer cohesive gel (“gummy bear”) implants. We’ll discuss the benefits of each type for your specific situation and help you make an informed choice.
We may keep your existing capsule if it’s soft and healthy, perform a capsulotomy (surgical release of tight areas), or complete a capsulectomy (removal of the entire capsule). With capsular contracture or BIA-ALCL concerns, we typically recommend complete removal. We’ll discuss our recommendation based on your specific situation.
Many find exchange recovery somewhat easier than initial augmentation since the breast pocket already exists. Most return to light activities within 3-5 days and normal routines within 1-2 weeks. If significant capsule work or pocket adjustments are needed, recovery might be similar to your original procedure.
Yes, exchanging implants often provides an excellent opportunity to address rippling, visibility, or position problems. Switching implant types, adjusting placement, or adding supportive materials can significantly improve these issues. We’ll discuss specific techniques to address your particular concerns.
Most patients achieve very natural results after exchange, often more natural-looking than their original augmentation. We can select implants that better complement your current body proportions and use experience from your previous surgery to refine results.
