Introduction to Breast Implant Exchange
What is Breast Implant Exchange?
How Does Breast Implant Exchange Work?
Breast implant exchange involves replacing existing breast implants with new ones. The process typically begins with a consultation to discuss the patient’s goals and concerns. During the surgery, Dr. Samir Hasan makes incisions along the previous augmentation scars or in new locations if necessary. The old implants are carefully removed, and adjustments or modifications, such as changing size or type of implants, are made according to the patient’s preferences. New implants are then inserted and positioned to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. If needed, additional procedures like a breast lift or addressing any issues with the surrounding tissue or capsule may also be performed. Post-surgery, patients receive guidance for recovery, including wearing a supportive bra and monitoring for any signs of complications as the breasts heal and settle into their new appearance.
