This procedure is know as breast implant exchange or revision surgery It can be done for a number of reasons. You may wish to have a larger breast implant size or exchange your saline breast implants to the new cohesive gel implants now available.  Occasionally, a deflation will occur and a saline breast implant will need to be exchanged.  For others the procedure may become necessary to remove or adjust scar tissue (capsular contracture) which can form in the implant pocket.  For others this procedure can be done to reposition the breast implant (capsulorraphy).  Join our board certified plastic surgeons who have extensive clinical experience in performing this type of breast surgery.  Be sure to bring your questions to to consultation.  Be sure to ask us about the breast implant warranty that comes with your breast implant procedure.
