Reasons for Changing Implants

The decision to change breast implants can stem from several factors. Some wish to go larger or smaller to match a new aesthetic preference or body change. Others want to switch from saline to silicone (or vice versa), upgrade to newer implant technology, or correct issues like implant rupture, rippling, or capsular contracture.

The Consultation

The first step is a thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Walker. During this visit, Dr. Walker will assess your current implants, breast tissue, skin quality, and desired outcome. You’ll also discuss your lifestyle, health history, and goals to establish the right implant type and size.

Surgical Details

Breast implant revision surgery entails the removal of the existing implants and replacing them through the same incisions used in the initial breast augmentation. Depending on the change in implant size, your surgeon may need to modify the implant pocket, perform a breast lift, or adjust the surrounding tissue to ensure the best result.

The procedure is done with general anesthesia and takes one to two hours. Recovery is often quicker than the initial augmentation, but patients should still allow several days for rest and limited activity.

Results and Expectations

Results can be seen almost immediately, although swelling will take time to subside. Choosing a skilled surgeon is key to achieving a balanced, natural look that meets your expectations.
