Implant exchange is a specialized procedure designed to enhance or replace existing breast implants, allowing you to customize the size, shape, or type of your implants. Athēnix in Irvine is committed to providing a tailored implant exchange experience that ensures the best possible outcomes.
The decision to undergo implant exchange is a personal one and can be motivated by various factors, including:
Over time, your aesthetic goals and preferences may change, leading to a 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 aspire to achieve a different breast shape or size, implant exchange can help you realize your desired results.
In certain situations, implant exchange may be necessary to address issues such as rupture, capsular contracture, or implant misplacement.
Medical concerns may also play a role in the decision to change breast implants.
If you wish to alter your implants' size, shape, or type, the surgeon will remove the existing implants and replace them with new ones using the same incisions as the initial surgery. A capsulectomy may be performed to remove the 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 remove and replace your existing implants safely.

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, inherent risks 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.
