Signs You Need a Breast Implant Exchange in Scottsdale, Arizona

A breast implant exchange, also called breast implant revision or replacement surgery, involves the removal of one or both implants before replacing them with new ones – either for medical or cosmetic reasons.

Come to Guerra Plastic Surgery Center for solutions to any of the following concerns with your breast implants:

  • Asymmetry: one implant appears smaller or larger than the other
  • Poor positioning or placement: the implants are too low, too high, too far apart, etc.
  • Implant migration
  • Wrinkled or rippled breast implants
  • Sagging breast implants and tissues
  • Tightening of the scar tissue around one or both breast implants, which may signal capsular contracture
  • Stretched tissues around one or both implants, which may be a sign of breast implant displacement
  • Persistent sensations of pain, firmness, and swelling, which may indicate implant rupture
  • Implants merging at the center, creating a “uniboob”
  • A desire to change the size, shape, or feel of your implants
  • Having older-generation breast implants

While silicone and saline implants are FDA-approved for 10 to 20 years, it does not mean you need replacement surgery every decade. You can safely go beyond this timetable, and most patients only have one or two renewal surgeries in their lifetime. Still, if you wish to replace your current pair, you may be a candidate for breast implant exchange.

How It Works

Our Breast Implant Exchange Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Aldo Guerra, will personalize the incision and implant placement based on your anatomy and the condition of your current implants. He may use the same incision site as your initial augmentation procedure, particularly if your previous implants were placed via an inframammary fold or areolar incision.

If you experience capsular contracture or have a ruptured implant, our doctors will remove the hardened scar tissue surrounding the implant before removing the implant itself. After which, he will carefully insert the replacement implant using a Funnel or no-touch technique.

Dr. Guerra in Arizona uses multiple layers of dissolving sutures to close incisions. He may also place a layer of gauze and a bandage over your newly enhanced breasts to promote faster healing.

In general, a breast implant exchange takes between 1 and 3 hours to complete.
