Implant exchange, a procedure designed to enhance or replace existing breast implants, allows you to adjust the size, shape, or type of your implants. Athēnix in Fresno is dedicated to providing a personalized implant exchange process that ensures the best possible results.
Deciding to undergo implant exchange is a personal choice and can be prompted by various factors, including:
As time goes on, your aesthetic goals and preferences may evolve, leading to the desire for a different implant size or type.
Some individuals may need to exchange their implants due to complications or the natural lifespan of the implants.
If you are interested in achieving a different breast shape or size, implant exchange can help you achieve the desired results.
In some cases, individuals may require implant exchange to resolve complications such as rupture, capsular contracture, or implant malposition.
Medical concerns may also be a factor, necessitating a change in breast implants.
If you simply want to change the size, shape, or type of your implants, the surgeon removes the old implants and replaces them with new ones using the same incisions as the initial surgery. A capsulectomy removes the entire scar tissue capsule that typically forms around breast implants, allowing for a fresh start with new implants and reducing the risk of complications. Our surgeons will create a personalized plan to safely remove your existing implants and replace them.

Will implant exchange result in visible scars?
Implant exchange is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon in an accredited facility. As with any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks, which will be discussed during your consultation to ensure an informed decision.
Selecting the right surgeon is essential for a successful implant exchange. Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in implant exchange procedures. Consultations offer the opportunity to discuss your goals and expectations.
Implant exchange, like any surgical procedure, may result in scarring. However, our skilled plastic surgeons use techniques to minimize scarring and make them as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, scars tend to fade and become less noticeable.
