Prosthesis replacement

Breast implant replacement (or breast implant change) is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a previously placed implant for various reasons:

1. rupture
2. rotation
3. encapsulation
4. wirkling

In all these cases, in my opinion, it is essential to replace the implant with a new one with a polyurethane coating. This is mandatory for implant replacement following capsular contracture.

It is a very delicate procedure, and it is not always optimal to place a larger implant. It is often important to change the shape and projection, and, where necessary, integrate with a mastopexy.

In any case, it is always less painful for the patient and offers a quicker recovery than primary breast augmentation, as the pocket where the implant will be placed is already present.

It is important to know that there are high-quality implants on the market that come with a lifetime guarantee, so in my opinion it is always best to use the best implants on the market to minimize the number of secondary breast augmentation procedures.
