About this Treatment
Breast Implant Replacement
Breast implant replacement and revisional breast surgery in Toledo are surgical procedures to replace breast implants that are older or of improper size and either replace them with properly sized implants or remove them and reshape the breast as needed.
Revisional or corrective breast surgery refers to surgical procedures such as scar deformities, asymmetry, or unnatural results resulting in breast deformities. The goal is to restore the breast to an appropriate and balanced size and shape, improve support, and relieve any existing discomfort.
What It Is
After previous breast implant augmentation, several women may experience discomfort and tightness from capsular contracture, concern about possible implant rupture and gel migration, or a desire to change the size of the breasts and improve support. Over time, breast implants may change in position or become uncomfortable from capsular contracture or diminishing support. The breast tissue around the implant may also change with age and experience sagging and a loss of support, and skin thinning with stretch marks, all of which may result in a less desirable breast contour, breast pain, concern about implant or gel integrity, resulting a loss of confidence and quality not life. Breast implant removal, exchange to a new and properly sized device or removal and breast lift without preimplantation are effective options to these issues for many patients.
