With implant replacement, we exchange the existing implant for a new one. This can make sense if you wish for a different size or shape, or if an older implant needs to be replaced. We choose the shape and volume together with you to suit your body.

What matters with implant replacement and removal
-
-
With complete removal, we take out the implant without inserting a new one. We discuss with you how the breast is likely to feel and look afterwards. On request, we check whether an additional lift would make the result more harmonious.
-
Over time, the body forms a connective tissue layer around every implant, known as the capsule. If this hardens, treating the capsule may be part of the procedure. We assess during the examination whether and to what extent this is necessary.
-
We work with an incision that is as inconspicuous as possible, using existing scars wherever we can. This keeps the visible result discreet. How the scars heal also depends on your skin and on the aftercare.

FAQ
When does an implant replacement make sense?
A replacement is worth considering if you wish for a different size or shape, or if an older implant needs to be replaced. Medical reasons such as a hardened capsule can also be a factor. In a personal consultation, we assess your situation and advise you honestly.
Do I have to have a new implant inserted after a removal?
No, removal without replacement is possible if that is what you wish. We discuss with you how the breast is likely to change afterwards. On request, we check whether a lift would make sense for a harmonious result.
Which anaesthesia is used?
The procedure is usually carried out under general anaesthesia in a protected surgical environment. Before the operation, we clarify all the details of the anaesthesia with you. This means you are safely cared for throughout the entire procedure.
How long does recovery take?
In the first few weeks, you should take it easy and avoid sport and heavy strain. You will wear a supportive compression bra for the period we recommend. When you are fully resilient again depends on your individual healing process, which we accompany at the follow-up appointments.
Do visible scars remain?
We work with an inconspicuous incision and use existing scars wherever possible. This keeps the visible result discreet. How well the scars heal also depends on your skin and on careful aftercare.
Does the shape of the breast change after a removal?
Yes, after the implant is removed, the tissue can change, depending on your starting situation and skin condition. We explain honestly in advance what you can expect. This way, you make your decision well informed.
