About this
Service

Patients who are contemplating having breast implants replaced should first consult with a certified cosmetic surgeon who can assess their aesthetic objectives and assist them with the best size and shape of implant for the revision. The size and projection of the breasts can alter with the ageing process, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations, and replacing the implants may be a good idea.  If your implant ruptures, deflates or changes its position, you might need to undergo breast implant exchange surgery.

Exchanging an implant can be a simple process in some situations, but it can also be far more complicated in others. Surgery must be highly individualised since getting the perfect result for you can entail modifying the breast tissues in addition to replacing the implant.
