Breast implant removal or exchange is a surgical procedure involving the removal, replacement, or adjustment of breast implants. It’s chosen by individuals seeking to change the size, type, or position of their implants due to various reasons such as: dissatisfaction with size and \/ or shape, complications related to the implants (such as capsular contracture) or to replace implants that have reached their shelf-life.<\/p>\n

The surgical process involves several approaches. For implant removal, the surgeon makes incisions (usually at the original sites) to remove the existing implants. In some cases this will require performing an additional procedure (capsule removal, or capsulectomy) if there’s scar tissue or implant malposition. When breast implant exchange is also required, the current implants are replaced with new ones, often addressing size, shape, or material preferences. Adjustments to implant size or position can be made during exchange surgeries, and if a breast uplift (mastopexy)<\/a> is also desired, this can be carried out as part of the same procedure.<\/p>\n

Post-surgery, you may experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising, managed with prescribed pain medication. Wearing a supportive bra aids in recovery and reduces swelling. Rest and avoiding strenuous activities are recommended initially, gradually returning to normal routines as guided by the surgeon. Regular follow-ups made at 1 week, 6 weeks and 3 months ensure proper healing and address any concerns.<\/p>\n

Breast implant removal or exchange surgeries are chosen for various reasons, including changes in aesthetic preferences, implant-related complications like rupture or capsular contracture, or lifestyle adjustments. While some scarring may occur, proper incision care minimises visible scarring over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3241,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3033","treatment","type-treatment","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBreast Implant Removal Leeds | Mr Waseem Bhat Plastic Surgeon<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Breast implant removal or exchange is a surgical procedure involving the removal, replacement, or adjustment of breast implants.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/breast-implant-removal-exchange\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Breast Implant Removal Leeds | Mr Waseem Bhat Plastic Surgeon\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Breast implant removal or exchange is a surgical procedure involving the removal, replacement, or adjustment of breast implants.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/breast-implant-removal-exchange\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Mr Waseem Bhat\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-04-15T13:44:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/02\/Waseem-Bhat-Breast-Implant-Removal-Exchange.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"910\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"650\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/breast-implant-removal-exchange\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/breast-implant-removal-exchange\",\"name\":\"Breast Implant Removal Leeds | Mr Waseem Bhat Plastic Surgeon\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/breast-implant-removal-exchange#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/breast-implant-removal-exchange#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/02\/Waseem-Bhat-Breast-Implant-Removal-Exchange.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-02-22T10:41:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-04-15T13:44:52+00:00\",\"description\":\"Breast implant removal or exchange is a surgical procedure involving the removal, replacement, or adjustment of breast implants.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/breast-implant-removal-exchange#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/breast-implant-removal-exchange\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/breast-implant-removal-exchange#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/02\/Waseem-Bhat-Breast-Implant-Removal-Exchange.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/02\/Waseem-Bhat-Breast-Implant-Removal-Exchange.jpg\",\"width\":910,\"height\":650,\"caption\":\"Mr Waseem Bhat -
