What is Implant Exchange?

Implant exchange is a procedure crafted to improve or replace existing breast implants, giving you the flexibility to adjust size, shape, or implant type. Athēnix in Marina Del Rey is dedicated to delivering a personalized implant exchange experience that ensures optimal results.

The Benefits of Implant Exchange

Implant exchange empowers you to achieve a more balanced, attractive, and natural-looking breast appearance. This procedure offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Customization: Choose new implants aligned with your aesthetic goals
  • Enhanced symmetry: Address existing asymmetry or implant positioning issues
  • Renewed confidence: Elevate self-esteem and overall well-being by achieving your desired breast appearance

Is Implant Exchange for You?

The decision to undergo implant exchange is a personal one, driven by various factors such as:

Evolving Preferences

As time passes, your aesthetic aspirations may evolve, leading to a desire for a change in implant size or type.

Implant Maintenance

Some individuals may require implant exchange due to complications or the natural lifespan of their implants.

Enhancing Your Silhouette

If you wish to achieve a different breast shape or size, implant exchange can help you realize your desired results.

Addressing Complications

In some cases, implant exchange is necessary to resolve complications like rupture, capsular contracture, or implant malposition.

Health Considerations

Medical concerns may also prompt a change in breast implants.

How It Works

If you seek to change the size, shape, or type of your implants, the surgeon will remove the old implants and replace them with new ones using the same incisions from your initial surgery. A capsulectomy will remove the entire scar tissue capsule typically formed around breast implants, providing a fresh start with new implants and reducing the risk of complications. Our surgeons will design a personalized plan to safely remove and replace your existing implants.

Your Recovery Process

Immediate Post-Op & Day of

After your implant exchange procedure, you will receive attentive care in a recovery area. Experiencing some discomfort, swelling, or pain is normal and can be managed with prescribed medications. Our surgical team is dedicated to ensuring your comfort and well-being.

Following Days

During the initial days after implant exchange, it's crucial to rest and avoid strenuous activities. You may encounter some bruising and swelling, which can be alleviated with ice packs and prescribed pain relief.

One Week

Around one week post-surgery, you will return for a follow-up appointment at Athēnix in Marina Del Rey. Your surgeon will assess your healing progress and guide you through your recovery.

Two Weeks

Most individuals can typically return to work at the two-week mark and engage in light activities. However, it's vital to continue avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.

Six Weeks

Six weeks following implant exchange, you can generally resume most normal activities, including exercise, while being mindful of movements that strain the chest area. Your breasts will start to settle into their new shape.

Three Months

Around three months, you will have another follow-up appointment with your Athēnix surgeon. Any remaining discomfort or swelling should have gone away by this time.

Six Months

At six months post-implant exchange, you will be fully healed, and any residual signs of the procedure, such as scarring, will continue to fade. This is when you can fully enjoy the benefits of your implant exchange procedure.
