Good candidates for implant removal or exchange are individuals who have undergone breast augmentation and wish to remove their implants, change their implant size, or address implant-related issues such as capsular contracture or implant rupture.

Implant removal or exchange is typically performed through incisions made in the same location as the original breast augmentation incisions. The implants are carefully removed, and new implants may be inserted if desired.

Recovery time varies, but most patients can expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for 1-2 weeks. It's important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure optimal healing.

Incisions for implant removal or exchange are typically made in the same location as the original breast augmentation incisions, minimizing visible scarring. Scars will fade over time and are often barely noticeable.

While initial results will be visible shortly after the procedure, final results may take several weeks as swelling subsides and the breasts settle into their new shape. Patients can expect a more natural breast appearance and improved comfort.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, and scarring. However, these risks are minimized when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon.
