Breast implant is one of the most sought-after surgical procedures, which patients turn to in order to obtain a larger, more contoured and sexier bust. However, if after performing the breast implant the patient: did not take into account the specialist’s recommendations, gained/lost excessive weight or became a mother, the breasts may sag. Of course we can also talk here about patients who want a bigger or smaller bust after breast implant surgery. For this problem, changing the breast implant is the optimal intervention.

Potential patients:

The procedure is especially addressed to patients who previously opted for breast implants, but with the passage of time, the breasts have changed their shape/size. They can resort to changing the implant, to correct the unpleasant appearance.

Breast implant replacement surgery involves replacing the old implant through a small incision. The old implant will be removed and replaced with a new one, according to the patient’s needs and wishes.

The procedure is also suitable for patients who want a larger or smaller breast implant, after having previously used the breast augmentation procedure with an implant.

The operation will be performed under anesthesia, for the comfort and safety of the patient.

The procedure lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the patient’s needs.

First of all, it is important to note that the procedure will require a period of recovery, to restore the tissues attacked by the incisions.

This will generally be between 4 and 5 weeks post-surgery.

The result will be visible immediately, but you will enjoy the final effect only after a few weeks, when the breasts will reach the right shape and volume.

Because we want to ensure a good course for the patients, the doctor will call you for regular check-ups, post-intervention. This way we will make sure that everything goes as it should.

In principle, the post-intervention rules are similar to those you followed during the first breast augmentation operation.

For 1 month after the operation you will wear an elastic bustier recommended to maintain and protect the area.

Avoid driving and actions that will require your chest and hand muscles.

Do not lift heavy objects and give up sports during the recovery period.

Try to sleep on your back to avoid possible discomfort.

Enlist the help of your loved ones for activities that require your chest muscles.

After how long can I change my breast implant?

A breast implant involves a recovery period, during which the area will heal. If the patient wants to change the breast implants, she can do so after the area heals, which means several months, up to 1 year. Because every patient is different, our recommendation is to come for a check-up, during which the doctor will give you all the details you need.

Can I opt for changing the breast implant with a smaller one?

Sure you do. You can choose a smaller breast implant, but in some cases a correction of the area may also be necessary. This can vary from patient to patient depending on their needs. However, it is advisable to talk to the doctor about your wishes, and he will give you complete information.
