Everything to Know About Breast Implant Exchange or Removal
Dr. Siamak Agha of The Aesthetics Centers in Newport Beach explains when and why women choose breast implant exchange or removal—and how modern techniques ensure natural, beautiful results.
Breast implants can beautifully enhance a woman’s shape and confidence, but they aren’t meant to last forever. Over time, personal preferences, lifestyle changes, or physical factors may lead some patients to consider breast implant exchange or removal.
At The Aesthetics Centers in Newport Beach, Dr. Siamak Agha helps patients navigate these decisions with compassion and expertise. His modern revision techniques focus on preserving natural proportions, improving symmetry, and ensuring each patient feels confident in her choice—whether that means new implants or a refreshed natural contour.
Why Women Choose Implant Exchange or Removal
There are many reasons why women opt for a change, and not all of them are medical. Some are aesthetic, while others are related to comfort or long-term health.
- Desiring a new look: Updating implant size, shape, or projection to match current preferences.
- Aging implants: Replacing older implants that may have deflated or shifted over time.
- Capsular contracture: Removing scar tissue that causes firmness or discomfort.
- Lifestyle changes: Transitioning to a more natural or athletic appearance.
- Implant rupture or leakage: Addressing safety and comfort concerns promptly.
Dr. Agha carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy and goals to create a surgical plan that restores both aesthetics and peace of mind.
What Happens During Implant Exchange
A breast implant exchange involves removing existing implants and replacing them with new ones—often improving shape, comfort, and symmetry.
Key benefits include:
- Updated implant materials (e.g., cohesive gel or “gummy bear” implants)
- Opportunity to change size or placement
- Correction of asymmetry or sagging from aging implants
At The Aesthetics Centers, Dr. Agha may also perform a breast lift or capsulectomy (removal of the scar capsule) during the same procedure to refine contours and enhance natural shape.
“Modern implant exchange is an opportunity—not just to replace, but to improve and perfect the result.”
Considering Implant Removal
Some women choose to remove their implants altogether, preferring a more natural figure. In these cases, Dr. Agha uses advanced explantation techniques to maintain the breast’s aesthetic balance and minimize sagging.
Depending on skin elasticity and breast tissue, he may recommend:
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Restores perkiness and shape after removal.
- Fat Transfer Augmentation: Uses your body’s natural fat to restore gentle fullness.
- Tissue Support or Internal Bra: Adds structural support for long-term lift.
The goal is always to achieve natural, symmetrical, and beautiful results that match each patient’s proportions.
The Recovery Process
Recovery from breast implant exchange or removal typically takes 1–2 weeks for most patients, with full results visible in 6–12 weeks as swelling resolves.
Dr. Agha provides personalized aftercare plans, including:
- Compression garments for support
- Scar management and massage guidance
- Follow-up visits to monitor healing and shape refinement
Most patients experience renewed comfort, lightness, and confidence after their procedure.
