Are your breast implants showing signs of aging, or have your aesthetic goals simply changed over time?

Our patient-centered approach ensures you receive personalized care from consultation through recovery, all in one comfortable, state-of-the-art location.
What Is Implant Exchange?
Implant exchange, also known as breast implant revision, is a surgical procedure that removes your current breast implants and replaces them with new ones. This may be performed for medical reasons—such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or implant malposition—or for personal reasons, such as changing size, switching implant type (saline to silicone or vice versa), or replacing outdated implants.
Many women choose implant exchange as part of their ongoing aesthetic journey, especially as body shape and personal preferences evolve over the years. This procedure is commonly performed alongside other breast procedures, such as a breast lift, to achieve optimal results.
Benefits of Implant Exchange
Implant exchange offers both aesthetic and functional advantages, including:
- Correcting complications such as rupture, rippling, or capsular contracture
- Updating to newer implant technology for a more natural look and feel
- Adjusting implant size to match your current body or aesthetic goals
- Improving breast symmetry and shape
- Restoring confidence and comfort in your appearance
Who Is a Candidate for Implant Exchange?
You may be a good candidate for implant exchange if you have existing breast implants and are experiencing any of the following:
- Implant rupture or deflation
- Capsular contracture causing firmness or discomfort
- Implant displacement or asymmetry
- Desire to change implant size, shape, or type
- Dissatisfaction with the appearance of your current implants
During a consultation at Rejuuuuve4You, your surgeon will evaluate your implants, discuss your concerns, and recommend the best approach to help you achieve your goals.
The Implant Exchange Procedure
Implant exchange is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes between one and three hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Your surgeon will often use your existing incision sites to minimize additional scarring. After carefully removing the old implants and any surrounding scar tissue, if necessary, they will place your new implants in the desired position and close the incisions with precision.
If you’re also considering a breast lift or other complementary procedures, these can often be performed at the same time for a comprehensive transformation.
Recovery and Results
Most patients return home the same day and can resume light activities within a few days. Full recovery typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, and you’ll be supported by the same dedicated care team throughout your healing process. Swelling and bruising are normal initially, but as these subside, you’ll enjoy refreshed, beautifully contoured breasts that align with your current aesthetic vision.
