What is Implant Exchange? 

Implant exchange involves replacing existing breast implants with new ones to change the breast’s size, shape, or type. Whether switching from saline to silicone implants or simply opting for a different size, implant exchange offers flexibility and customization to meet each patient’s unique aesthetic goals. 

What is Implant Removal?  

Implant removal, on the other hand, entails the complete removal of breast implants from the body. This procedure may be desired for various reasons, including dissatisfaction with the results of a previous augmentation, medical complications, or a personal decision to return to a more natural appearance.  

Why Choose Implant Exchange 

Implant exchange offers several benefits for patients seeking to modify their breast implants. Whether it’s to achieve a more proportionate figure, address changes in personal preferences, or correct complications from previous surgery, implant exchange provides an opportunity for patients to enhance their appearance and regain confidence in their bodies.

When is Implant Removal Necessary 

Implant removal may become necessary for various reasons. These can include capsular contracture (the hardening of scar tissue around the implant), implant rupture or leakage, dissatisfaction with the results of a previous augmentation, or changes in personal preferences. In some cases, implant removal may also be recommended as a precautionary measure to address potential health concerns. 

Implant Exchange Step-by-Step 

Before 

Before undergoing implant exchange at Snyder Plastic Surgery in Austin, TX, patients embark on a personalized journey toward achieving their aesthetic goals. Patients have the opportunity to openly discuss their desires, concerns, and medical history with Dr. Snyder. Following the discussion, a thorough examination is conducted to assess the patient’s candidacy for implant exchange and to identify any potential risks or considerations. Dr. Snyder’s meticulous attention to detail ensures that each patient receives a thorough evaluation. 

During 

Implant exchange surgery is a meticulous procedure conducted under general anesthesia to replace existing breast implants with new ones. Beginning with an incision made in the breast area, Dr. Snyder carefully removes the old implants from the breast pockets, addressing any issues such as capsular contracture or implant malposition. After adjusting the breast pockets as necessary, the surgeon inserts the new implants, chosen in consultation with the patient to align with their aesthetic goals.  

  • Implant exchange is performed in a state-of-the-art surgical facility, ensuring patient safety and comfort throughout the process. 
  • Dr. Snyder employs advanced surgical techniques to achieve optimal results, considering the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
